Apple v Epic: Court denies delay on App Store changes
A US federal judge has denied a plea by Apple to delay changes to its App Store as a result of its landmark legal battle with Epic Games. The current rules ban any mention of an external payment system inside apps downloaded from Apple's App Store. The initial judgement, handed down in September by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, found that Apple could not be considered a monopoly for the way it handles its App Store or the fees it charges. In the hearing, she was also critical of Apple's request for a stay until all appeals are resolved - which could take years - rather than a limited one of some months while it tried to figure out how to change its long-standing rules. Writing in her judgement, she said: "Other than, perhaps, needing time to establish guidelines, Apple has provided no credible reason for the court to believe that the injunction would cause the professed devastation."Links can be tested by app review.
