Apple to face Epic Games in court
Their argument is simple: that Apple's control over the App Store is anti-competitive. Apple's App Store and Google's Google Play are the dominant global app stores, outside China. Unwilling to lie down and accept the charges - which it calls an "Apple Tax" - Epic Games decided to sue Apple instead. Worryingly for Apple, many of its App Store critics come from across the political divide. Firstly, Apple says it invented the App Store and as a private company it can charge what it wants. The trial is expected to conclude in the last week of May. However, even if Apple wins, the fight over how Apple runs its App Store will rage on.
