"Apple's App Store Battle: Tim Sweeney Vows Further Legal Action After Supreme Court Rejects Appeals"

Epic's Tim Sweeney vows more legal action against Apple after the US Supreme Court rejects appeals in the Epic vs. Apple antitrust lawsuit, with Sweeney calling it a "sad outcome for all developers." The court battle to open iOS to competing stores and payments is lost in the United States, and Apple has been forced to allow iOS developers to include external links for purchasing mechanisms in their apps. However, Apple is mandating a 27 percent commission on proceeds made via external links and has implemented a full-screen notification warning app users about the privacy and security of purchases made on the web. Sweeney criticizes Apple's fee as "anticompetitive" and plans to contest Apple's compliance plan in District Court, indicating that Epic has no intention of backing down.
