Epic formally asks SCOTUS to uphold contempt ruling against Apple
Epic Games filed its official response to Apple's Supreme Court appeal, urging the justices to uphold the civil contempt ruling over App Store payment restrictions. The dispute centers on whether Apple's 27% commission on external purchases and limits on payment links circumvented the original injunction; Apple argues the order never explicitly barred those rules.
What this means for indie developers:The outcome will determine whether US apps can truly steer users to external payments and whether Apple can keep taking a cut, so indie developers with subscriptions or IAP should keep watching.
