Apple appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court because 30% commission will go to court with Epic again.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Brother Black fly's left hand clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 4 (Xinhua)-- since the game "Fortnite" was removed from App Store, Epic Games and Apple have engaged in a long court battle.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple could not prevent iOS developers from using third-party payment platforms in its apps and rejected Apple's appeal. Apple is now appealing again to the U.S. Supreme Court, hoping the judge will reconsider the ruling.
CTOnews.com quoted Reuters as saying that Apple has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to reopen the case with Epic Games and wants the Supreme Court to listen to its arguments and reconsider Judge Rogers' decision.
Apple wants to reverse Judge Rogers's ruling on app distribution, arguing that even if the apps are distributed through App Store, developers will use a third-party platform to sell content in the app.
Reuters believes that this has seriously affected Apple's profits, reducing the commission fee by 30%.
