- Apple presents an appeal to App Store’s decision
- This occurs only days after it was ordered to change some basic rules of the application store.
- Apple did not agree and now you are taking action
Apple presented an appeal on Monday before the ruling of the Judge of the United States District Court that forced him to stop charging the developers some commission rates.
A few days after Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers accused Apple of Lying and not complying with a previous court order, the technological giant has presented an appeal that can prevent the application of this new ruling, one that demanded, among other things, the company stops charging a 27% commission in purchases in the application outside the Apple Store transaction system of Apple. The rate was applied to the applications that were downloaded through Apple App Store, but then pointed to users to purchases in the application that could be completed through third -party transactions.
Apple’s insistence was also in question that his own transaction system is offered together with these third -party options.
The ruling that Apple is attractive painted a not too flattering image of how Apple answered the original court order, claiming: “TOr hide the truth, Vice President of Finance, Alex Roman, lied absolutely under oath. Internally, Phillip Schiller had advocated that Apple complies with the mandate, but Tim cook He ignored Schiller and, on the other hand, allowed Financial Director Luca Masteri and his finance team to convince him otherwise. “
What follows?
Apple’s appeal, which was called to our attention by The Verge, offers no more details about how Apple plans to fight this last failure. At that time, it was said that Apple was “totally disagree” with the ruling, but Apple’s representatives also said: “We will comply with the order of the court and appeal.”
The original case was launched in 2020 by Fortnite Maker Epic in its search to open iOS to third -party application stores, and to open Apple’s App Store to external transaction systems.
With the ruling last week, Epic CEO, Tim Sweeney, announced that Epic would return to the App Store, and other application developers said they could be reducing prices due to the reduction of commission’s rates.
When writing this article, it is not clear if Epic still plans to return and if consumers are about to see cheaper applications and purchases in the application. However, what is clear is that Apple does not finish fighting this decision.
