Apple fires back at court’s 'punitive' App Store order in Epic case
- Apple filed a new appeal on 2025-06-23 asking the Ninth Circuit to cancel an injunction blocking it from charging commissions on external in-app purchases.
- This appeal follows an April ruling by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers finding Apple in civil contempt for not fully complying with a 2021 injunction on third-party payment links.
- The new order bans Apple from taking any cut on purchases outside its ecosystem and enforces strict rules on how developers steer users to external payment methods.
- Apple argues the order is "unduly punitive," punishes nonillegal conduct under California's UCL, and insists 27% commission removal is excessive, urging reassignment to a new judge.
- This legal battle remains unresolved as Apple fights to protect App Store revenues and hoping courts overturn the expanded restrictions and contempt finding.
