US EditionApple loses bid to halt court ruling that blocks some fees from its iPhone app store
- Apple asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to pause enforcement of a ruling that prevents it from charging commissions on some App Store transactions.
- This request came after Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers held Apple in contempt in April for failing to comply with an injunction issued during the Epic Games litigation.
- The judge found Apple imposed a 27% fee on out-of-app purchases and tried to limit developers’ ability to link to external payment options.
- The appeals court denied Apple's emergency motion, stating it was not persuaded a stay is appropriate, and Apple said it "strongly disagrees" with the ruling.
- As a result, Apple must continue permitting developers such as Epic and Spotify to provide customers with links to payment options outside of the App Store without charging commissions while the appeals process is ongoing.
