- Apple submits an appeal to the App Store decision
- This comes only a few days after it was ordered to change some core app store rules
- Apple disagreed and now it takes action
On Monday, Apple filed an appeal to the US District Judge’s judgment that forced it to stop charging developers some commission fees.
Just a few days after Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers accused Apple of lying and not complying with a previous injunction, the tech giant has filed an appeal that can prevent the use of this new decision, one that, among other things, required the company to stop charging a 27% selection in the app made outside the Apple App Store transaction system. The fee used for apps that were downloaded via the Apple App Store, but then pointed users to buy in the app that could be completed through third -party transactions.
Apple’s insistence on its own transaction system being offered together with these third -party options.
The order that Apple is appealingly painted a not overly flattering picture of how Apple answered the original injunction and claimed, “to Hide the Truth, Vice President of Finance, Alex Novel, Directly lied to Ed. Internally, Phillip Schiller had persecuted that Apple complied with the injunction but Tim Cook Ignored Schiller and instead let be CFO Luca Maestri and his finance team to convince him otherwise. “
What is the next
Apple’s Appel, which was brought to our attention to The Verge, does not offer more details of how Apple is planning to fight this latest decision. At that time, Apple is said to “strongly disagree” with the decision, but Apple representatives also said, “We will comply with the court’s order and we will appeal.”
The original case was launched by 2020 by Fortnite Maker Epic in its quest to open iOS to third-party app stores and open the Apple App Store for outside transaction systems.
With last week’s decision, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney announced that Epic would return to the App Store, and other app developers claimed they possibly lowered prices due to reduced commission.
From this writing, it is unclear whether Epic is still planning to return and whether consumers are seeing cheaper apps and purchases in the app. What is clear, however, is that Apple has not done it to fight for this decision.
