Epic Games' Fortnite is inaccessible on Apple's iPhone devices worldwide as the app is blocked pending an update submission. While Epic has not specified the reasons for this blockage, Apple requested that Epic resubmit the update to exclude the U.S. storefront to avoid global disruptions. Epic Games has sought a U.S. court's intervention, claiming Apple's actions are retaliatory for their antitrust challenges against the tech giant. This situation is part of a long-standing legal conflict with Apple over app distribution practices that charge significant commission rates.
Late on Friday, Epic Games asked a U.S. judge in California to hold Apple in contempt for blocking the return of Fortnite to the App Store in the U.S.
Epic's filing added that Apple's blocking of the app was 'blatant retaliation against Epic for challenging Apple's anticompetitive behavior and exposing its lies to the court.'
