In other tech news, a legal battle between tech giants Epic Games and Apple has taken a new turn. Last month, Epic Games filed a motion accusing Apple of violating a 2021 injunction related to its App Store practices. Apple is now pushing back, asking the judge to reject Epic’s request. The tech company claims that Epic’s motives are driven by a desire to increase their own profitability by trying to micromanage Apple’s business operations.
The original injunction, issued by US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, required Apple to allow developers to offer external payment options in order to avoid fees. In response, Apple introduced new guidelines in January. However, Epic argues that these guidelines make alternative payment options “commercially unusable.”
Epic has accused Apple of not fully complying with the injunction, while Apple maintains that it has acted in accordance with the court order. Apple argues that the purpose of the injunction was simply to make information on alternative purchase options available, not to dictate commercial terms on how Apple provides access to its platform and user base.
As the legal battle between Epic Games and Apple continues to unfold, both companies are standing their ground and defending their respective positions. Time will tell how the court will ultimately rule on this contentious issue that has far-reaching implications for the tech industry.
