US EditionApple will appeal contempt ruling in Epic Games case over App Store
- Apple filed a notice of appeal on May 5, 2025, to challenge a U.S. Judge's ruling ordering changes to its App Store policies.
- The ruling came after Apple was found to have deliberately disregarded a 2021 court order that required it to permit apps to direct users to alternative payment methods on iOS.
- Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found Apple imposed a 27% commission on external purchases and used scare screens to deter users, which violated the court order.
- Apple implemented App Store rule changes last week permitting linking to third-party payments while stating it strongly disagreed with the ruling and will appeal to the 9th Circuit Court.
- The appeal could delay full enforcement of the ruling, suggesting ongoing legal conflict over App Store competition and developer transaction control.
