Apple made appeal for emergency grip on app fees filed by court
The court denied Apple‘S Appeal For an emergency stay on judgment on purchases made outside the App Store in the US, Tech Crunch Reported. This means that Apple cannot collect fees anymore when users click on links in the app that takes users to the external site for purchase. “After reviewing the relevant factors, we are not convinced that the stay is appropriate” Mentioned in filing.
Earlier this year, Judge Yivone Gonzalez Rogers ruled this Apple has been violated She’s 2021 verdict on Epic’s claim against Apple. The judge first ordered Apple to allow developers to allow consumers for other payment systems that allow the regular 30 percent of the app store to skip the commission fees. However, Apple still has taken a 27 percent discount for external purchases, but consumers have shown a “scare screen” alert and they have lost the company’s protection if they pay outside the App Store.
As part of this verdict, Gonzalez Rogers was ordered to stop charging fee for external payments in the US. Apple has banned developers from creating rules that prevent users from displaying links for buttons and external payments. Apple is in line with the order, but immediately filed an appeal for an emergency grip on the verdict, which can resume fees collected in external app purchases – and the appeal is now rejected.
Epic CEO Tim Sweany wrote in X in response to this verdict, saying, “Apple’s long national nightmare is over.” “Next week’s WWDC doublers and users -led Apple -led celebration of freedom for a long time.” Apple has not yet commented on the matter.
