A US district judge ruled that Apple must immediately stop taxing external payment links and restricting their presentation in apps. This ruling, part of the Apple vs. Epic Games case, marks a significant win for developers seeking to avoid Apple's payment system fees in the US App Store. Furthermore, Apple cannot interfere with developers' ability to provide links to third-party purchase options. The decision comes after instances of dishonesty from Apple's executives regarding previous court rulings, leading to increased scrutiny over the company's practices and policies.
A US district judge, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled today that, starting immediately, Apple is no longer allowed to tax external payment links within App Store titles nor can it restrict how they appear within the apps.
This ruling came out of the longstanding Apple vs. Epic Games legal dispute, which has been going on for over four years now. While an earlier ruling was in Apple's favor, the latest one is a victory not just for Epic but all developers looking to distribute their apps within the US iOS App Store and do not want to pay Apple for using its payment systems.
