Apple had largely won in decisions from a district court in 2022, and then the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in April. Epic's application stems from a complex series of rulings related to Epic's initial 2020 lawsuit. Justice Elena Kagan, who handles emergency petitions for California and other states, turned down Epic's request, as seen on the case's Supreme Court page (and initially reported by Reuters, among others).

Apple won the antitrust suit, but was ordered to allow developers to add in-app links to outside websites where payments could be accepted.Īpple does not want to change its App Store rules and also appealed, leading to the court battle today. Epic Games aimed to get the court to allow for third-party app stores and alternate methods of getting apps on iOS devices, but Epic Games largely lost the lawsuit, leading it to file an appeal. Apple quickly pulled the Fortnite app from the App Store, and Epic Games was ready with an antitrust lawsuit over Apple's App Store rules.
