  Time for a whole new monetization strategy for the App Store.  Funny enough, I think Apple is in a good spot to completely upend the industry in a way that's good for Apple and devs.  —  Apple needs a win here, and they've got the cash and headroom to provide it.  Just have to ge…

  Apple's appeal of Judge Gonzalez Rogers' contempt order isn't over before it started, but it's not far from that.  —  Here's why on @macstories:  —  https://www.macstories.net/...

  Apple's stay is denied by the 9th Circuit Court. The long national nightmare of the Apple tax is ended. May next week's WWDC be the Apple-led celebration of freedom that developers and users have long deserved. [image]

  Apple: “We are disappointed with the decision not to stay the district court's order, and we'll continue to argue our case during the appeals process. As we've said before, we strongly disagree with the district court's opinion.”

  Uh, this is not good for Apple. Even Google was granted their stay in a similar ruling. Seems far less likely Supreme Court would overturn now too. Might be time to read the (court) room. Is there time for a last minute “one more thing” addendum to the WWDC pre-recorded keynote?

  Time. To. Comply. Developers rejoice. In a one page decision, Apple loses its last ditch effort to stay the lower court's order in Epic v Apple. https://storage.courtlistener.com/ ... [image]

  Apple's motion was denied, as I expected - the Judge *can* instantly change App Store rules. The court didn't even feel it necessary to explain. I remain unconvinced by the “takings clause”. And pray Tim is seeing the light. [image]

  Apple has lost the motion to put a hold on the previous app store ruling! Apple will still be arguing their case in the appeal, but Fortnite Mobile is safe!

  @zerohedge Magically at WWDC they will announce new competitive lower rates and improved features.

• @jason_kint Jason Kint on x

  Again, Apple has been denied its stay pending appeal. This is on top of the 2021 liability decision which was already denied cert by SCOTUS. Full speed ahead. [image]

  Consumers are already benefitting from court-ordered changes to Apple's App Store, including more options and lower prices. Apple didn't like that, but the Ninth Circuit said tough luck.

  @InputStarling ... We have sent Apple a proposal to return Fortnite to all Apple platforms worldwide.

  @mddd1zz3 @FNMNews Apple is still blocking competing stores and payments in Canada, and there isn't any legislation or regulatory enforcement we're aware of to make Apple compete fairly.

• @drbarnard David Barnard on x

  Ball is now in Apple's court. With uncertainty around the injunction removed, IAP more directly competes with web payments. By the time the appeals process plays out, it's going to be much harder to put the genie back in the bottle. Apple needs to adjust to this new reality.

• @megangra Megan Gray on x

  whoa, no stay for Apple in the Epic Games case (ps, I predicted that alongside expedited briefing)

• @reuterslegal @reuterslegal on x

  Apple has failed to persuade a US appeals court to pause key parts of a federal judge's order requiring the iPhone maker to immediately open its lucrative App Store to more competition https://www.reuters.com/... [image]

  Whoa!! I was wrong! Apple's motion stay the latest injunction has been denied! Open season on web links for months, maybe years as the appeals process drags out. [image]
