Apple is appealing a recent court order that requires it to relinquish control over App Store payments, claiming it poses serious risks to their business model. The court ruled that Apple had violated prior injunctions related to the Epic Games lawsuit, leading to restrictions on commission fees and developer actions. Although Apple has begun complying with the order, it argues that the imposed changes threaten user trust and undermine the integrated iOS ecosystem, leading to potentially irreparable harm as they await the decision of their appeal.
Depriving Apple of control over core features of the App Store is, standing alone, sufficient to warrant a stay. The new rules profoundly undercut the integrated iOS ecosystem that this Court sustained as lawful and that is the foundation of user trust and confidence in the App Store.
The order contains extraordinary intrusions that could result in grave irreparable harm to the company.
