Apple urges court to suspend ruling that bars it from taking a cut on external app payments | TechCrunch
Briefly

Apple has filed an emergency motion to delay a new court ruling that would require the company to allow iOS app developers to redirect users to external payment systems, thereby avoiding Apple's commission fees. This follows a ruling favoring Epic Games, where the court found Apple had not complied with a previous order. Apple contends that the new ruling is unnecessarily punitive and will significantly impact its revenue stream while asserting compliance with earlier injunctions. They argue that the restrictions imposed are not based on unlawful conduct.
Apple is trying to delay a court ruling that forces the company to let iOS app developers in the U.S. redirect users to external payment systems.
A new ruling requires Apple to let apps on its U.S. App Store include features redirecting users to external payment systems, ceasing commissions on those payments.
Apple argues that the new ruling dramatically increases the scope of the original injunction and states that they have complied by letting developers link to non-Apple systems.
Apple claims the ruling will result in significant financial losses and insists that the restrictions were imposed to punish Apple, not based on unlawful conduct.
