That means we won’t see any alternative payment methods for in-app purchases on iPhones and iPads just yet. In the judgment, the Nith Circuit Court said that the tech giant’s appeal brought serious concerns about the district court’s judgment passed in September: It added that Apple “also made a sufficient showing of irreparable harm,” referring to the company’s repeated iteration of dangers of sideloading apps on the phone. Apple will still have to let apps communicate alternative payment methods to their customers through emails.
