Even more shocking is the 27% fee, which, along with fees from other processors, rendered it unfeasible for developers to use any payment processor other than Apple's. https://www.theverge.com/... X: Elizabeth Warren / @senwarren : Apple defied a court order just so it could steal from app developers and jack up prices for users. A federal judge called it an “obvious cover-up” and put a stop to it. This is a huge win for app users, developers, and competition. Tim Sweeney / @timsweeneyepic : @matthewstoller Not seeing a stay request, and the irreparable harm test surely isn't satisfiable. Richard Hoeg / @hoeglaw : @GameOverThirty @ZhugeEX Yes. The first thing Apple will do as part of this is seek an injunction/stay pending their appeal. Since I think the order is pretty clearly overreaching I would anticipate Apple winning the appeal (in substantial part), but getting a stay is a closer question. Richard Hoeg / @hoeglaw : @ZhugeEX @GameOverThirty Appeal will be a long time (probably a year+ would be my guess). Stay will get an up/down vote pretty quick (months) but Apple has to ask for it first. Matt Stoller / @matthewstoller : Apple filed its notice for appeal in the Epic Games case. The expectation on Wall Street is that the decision to allow apps to freely link out of the app store will be halted until 2026 by a higher court. https://storage.courtlistener.com/ ... Richard Hoeg / @hoeglaw : Never any question that this was coming. @games_fray : Apple has just appealed last week's contempt ruling in the Epic Games competition case. Note that they're still trying to get the judgment as a whole overturned, but at least they are aiming for reveral of the contempt-of-court part.
