Apple announced that it intends to ask the Supreme Court to hear its appeal regarding a judge's order involving an antitrust case restricting the company's payment practices on the Apple App Store.
The Big Tech company stated in a Monday filing that it would ask the Supreme Court to take up its appeal of a ruling by the California-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld most of the initial decision made by the court regarding Fortnite developer Epic Games's lawsuit against the company in 2021.
In August 2020, Epic Games decided to allow Fortnite players to save money by purchasing V-Bucks, the in-game currency, through Epic Games's website. That decision would cut Apple out as the middleman and not require Epic to pay Apple a 30% fee on the transaction. Apple reciprocated by booting Fortnite from its app store. Epic filed a suit against the company, alleging they were maintaining an"absolute monopoly" over the affair.
