"Apple's 27% fee on external payments is positioned as a reflection of the value provided by the App Store, including hosting, discovery, and software tools."
"The U.S. District Court ruled that Apple's 27% commission effectively nullified the purpose of allowing developers to link to external payment options."
"Epic Games challenged the stay granted to Apple, labeling it a delay tactic in the ongoing legal battle over App Store fees."
"The Supreme Court petition represents Apple's last legal avenue after the Ninth Circuit upheld the contempt finding and denied a rehearing."
Apple has filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge a contempt ruling related to its 27% commission on external payments. This follows the Ninth Circuit's decision limiting Apple's charging methods. The dispute began in 2020 when Epic Games attempted to bypass App Store fees. Although Apple initially won the case, it was later found in contempt for the 27% fee, which the court deemed undermined the purpose of allowing external payments. The Supreme Court petition is Apple's final legal option.
