Apple in Contempt: App Store Payment Rules Uphold

A federal appeals court upholds a ruling against Apple, finding it in civil contempt for defying an order to open its iPhone app store to other payment systems. The court agrees Apple ignored a previous judges directive to increase competition. While the decision mostly validates a contempt order, it overturns a prohibition on Apple collecting commissions from external payment systems. This case, initiated by Epic Games in 2020, highlights the complex legal landscape surrounding app store policies and the push for more open payment options.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
