Apple Inc on Friday alleged that Epic Games' chief executive had asked it for a"side letter" to create its own game store within the iPhone maker's App Store, which Apple said would have upended the store's commission-based business model.

The disclosure came in a court filing Friday in which Apple asked a federal judge in California to deny a request by"Fortnite" maker Epic Games to be kept in the iPhone maker's App Store as a dispute between the two over Apple's in-app payment rules plays out.In a filing before U.S.

Apple removed the popular game after Epic rolled out its own method of making purchases within the game, which Apple said violated its App Store rules. Those rules require games and other apps to use Apple's in-app payment system, which charges commissions of between 15per cent and 30per cent.Epic sued Apple over the removal, claiming the iPhone maker's App Store rules violate antitrust laws.
