This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Supreme Court has denied a request to hear an antitrust dispute between Apple and Fortnite publisher Epic Games.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected most of Apple’s claims and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals largely affirmed the decision.
But the company spent years delaying parts of the change with legal appeals, winning a reprieve while the Supreme Court considered the case.
Today’s denial seemingly runs out that clock, requiring Apple to reconsider the future of its anti-steering rules.
Apple may also face more pressure to open up iOS in Europe; it’s currently fighting attempts to regulate the App Store under the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which goes into effect on March 7th.
In a thread of social media posts, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said that “the court battle to open iOS to competing stores and payments is lost in the United States,” dubbing it “a sad outcome for all developers.” But he celebrated the end of anti-steering rules, urging developers to “begin exercising their court-established right to tell US customers about better prices on the web.” Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the Supreme Court’s decision.
