This is literally Apple going to the Supreme Court because there don't want the district judge to *hold a hearing* about what an actually fair commission level for external purchases would be. (presumably because they worry it'll then be applied worldwide) [embedded post]

Epic has always supported Apple charging developers for actual, incremental costs they incur for App Store services, which are far less than their 27% junk fees. Epic v Apple established that human reviewers spend 6-12 minutesper review. So, $5 per review? $10? $100?

The Supreme Court has considered Apple's delaying motion and found it unworthy. Now Apple will have to come clean with the District Court and show exactly what its costs are for reviewing apps with competing payment systems, so they can bill developers for those costs.

🚨 Justice Elena Kagan, acting alone and without referring the matter to the full Court, denied Apple's emergency request to pause the Epic Games App Store case. The lower courts found Apple violated a court order requiring it to let app developers direct users to outside [image]

Great news - the Supreme Court denied Apple's delay tactics. Now we head back to the District Court to determine what Apple can charge for only the necessary costs of implementing external purchase links.
