Apple has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to narrow the injunction won by Epic Games, arguing that a lawsuit brought solely by Epic should not impose new App Store rules on all developers, including uninvolved parties like Microsoft and Spotify. Apple is also contesting the Ninth Circuit's civil contempt ruling, which found Apple violated the spirit of the injunction by charging a 27% fee on external payments — a practice Apple argues was never explicitly prohibited. Meanwhile, Epic criticized the move as a delay tactic, and Fortnite has returned to the App Store globally (except Australia) as Epic expects the courts to rule against Apple's fee structure.
