Apple takes Epic fight over app store fees to the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court agreed to hear Apple's appeal regarding a contempt ruling in its antitrust battle with Epic Games, reviewing lower court decisions that found Apple willfully defied a 2021 ruling involving developer fees for its App Store. Apple had complied by allowing external payment links but imposed a 27 percent commission on revenue generated through them, which Epic argued effectively nullified the court order. The case will be heard in the court's next term beginning in October 2026.
