💨 Abstract

A three-judge appeals panel denied Apple's request to pause an April 30 order, which bans the company from charging fees on in-app iPhone transactions processed outside its payment system. This decision follows a legal battle initiated by Epic Games nearly five years ago, alleging Apple's monopoly on the iPhone’s app store. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers previously held Apple in contempt and recommended a criminal investigation into an executive's testimony.
