Epic appeals against Apple App Store ruling
Epic has launched an appeal against last week's ruling in its case against Apple's App Store policies. On Friday, the court issued a permanent injunction stopping Apple preventing app developers from directing users to payment methods outside the App Store - seen by many as a loss for Apple. Apple has characterised the ruling as a clear win, saying it is about communication between app developers and users. The injunction allowing developers to link to their own purchasing mechanisms - the only part of the ruling to have gone against Apple - may mean fewer customers use Apple's in-app payment systems, which take a 30% cut. The court has given Apple a 90-day grace period before the ruling takes effect.
