Court orders Apple to stop collecting fees for purchases made outside the App Store
Apple will not be allowed to collect fees for external purchases effective immediately. In response, Epic Games is bringing back Fortnite to the App Store in the US.
In addition to prohibiting Apple from collecting fees for external purchases, she also barred the company from showing users "scare screens" discouraging them from using third-party payment systems. In her ruling, Rogers said that the documents Apple submitted last year showed that App Store lead Phil Schiller advocated for the company to stop collecting fees on web links during a 2023 meeting. He also promised to return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide — and to drop any lawsuit covering the issue — if Apple applies a commission-free tax-free payment framework everywhere.
