Apple says Epic lawsuit shouldn’t reshape App Store rules for all developers

In Apple’s seemingly never-ending lawsuit with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store commissions, the iPhone maker is once again fighting a court’s ruling. Its latest tactic? Saying that Epic Games’ beef with Apple over its fee structure shouldn’t lead to an injunction that applies to all developers that publish on the U.S. App Store, including other tech giants like Microsoft and Spotify, which weren’t a part of this particular litigation. “…Epic never brought a class action and never attempted to show that enjoining Apple’s conduct against all other developers—like Microsoft or Spotify, who have nothing to do with Epic—was somehow necessary to provide relief to Epic,” reads Apple’s new petition, which asks the U.S. Supreme Court to review the lower court ruling.
