Apple is asking to pause App Store changes that were enforced last week. Amazon, Patreon, Spotify, and more have already made changes to iPhone and iPad apps.
The Apple versus Epic Games case continues to develop with the latest news seeing the former asking for a pause to last week’s landmark ruling. Apple filed an emergency motion on Wednesday to pause the changes it has been forced to make to its App Store.
Apple was told to drop all commissions made from external links taking customers out of iOS applications, and it was told to remove rules that restricted how developers advertised alternative payment methods within apps. The changes enforced by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers were «effective immediately» seeing Apple action them within a day of the ruling.
The new filing is with the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit where Apple argues the changes are unlawfully impacting its business. The court documents say, “A federal court cannot force Apple to permanently give away free access to its products and services, including intellectual property.
