Apple has a new filing challenging a nationwide injunction saying the practice is „procompetitive and does not violate the antitrust laws.“ „Epic also argued that the appeals court did not conduct a ‚rigorous‘ balancing between asserted consumer benefits and anticompetitive effects of Apple’s practices,“ the report said. Both Apple and Google removed Fortnite from their app stores.
Several top companies, including Fortnite maker Epic Games, have been at odds with Apple over 30% ‚tax‘. Recently, a US court upheld a previous order that could forced Apple to change payment practices in its App Store. According to the ruling the iPhone maker cannot ban links to outside App Store payments. The company has now filed a fresh appeal seeking reconsideration of the ruling in an antitrust case.
