Court denies Apple’s request to pause ruling on App Store payment fees

Court denies Apple’s request to pause ruling on App Store payment fees
SHARE

A recent ruling by a U.S. court has dealt a blow to tech giant Apple, denying the company a stay on a decision that requires them to stop charging developers for payments made outside the App Store through links in apps. This means that Apple will no longer be able to impose fees on developers when customers click on links within their apps that redirect them outside the App Store for payment, potentially resulting in a loss of revenue for the company.

The court stated that Apple “bears the burden of showing that the circumstances justify an exercise of [our] discretion,” and after reviewing the relevant factors, they were not persuaded that a stay was appropriate. Epic Games’ CEO, Tim Sweeney, welcomed the court’s ruling, calling it the end of the “long national nightmare of Apple tax.”

The ruling stems from a previous decision by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in favor of Epic Games, where she found Apple to be in “willful violation” of an injunction that prohibited them from enforcing anticompetitive pricing. This ruling requires Apple to revise the App Store rules and allow developers to freely link to their websites for purchasing digital goods.

In response to the ruling, Apple filed an emergency motion seeking a stay and also appealed the decision. Despite allowing other apps to link out and use non-Apple payment mechanisms last year, Apple still charged a 27% fee and displayed what critics called “scare screens.” With the new ruling, these practices will be eliminated.

Major companies like Spotify and Amazon have already started updating their apps to enable users to make payments for subscriptions and purchases outside the App Store. This ruling comes at a crucial time for Apple, with the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) scheduled for next week. A recent report by Apple revealed that they generated $1.3 trillion in billings and sales in 2024, with 90% of those sales not generating commission revenue for the company.

Overall, this court ruling marks a significant change in Apple’s App Store policies and could have far-reaching implications for developers and users alike. It remains to be seen how Apple will adapt to these new regulations and how it will impact the tech industry as a whole.
