Apple has been dealt a blow by the US Supreme Court, which refused to hear its challenge to a lower court's decision forcing it to change some rules in its money-spinning App Store.
The judges ignored the long legal fight between the iPhone maker and Epic Games, the creator of the hit video game "Fortnite."
The judges also snubbed Epic's appeal of the lower court's ruling that Apple's App Store policies on how software is sold and paid for do not break federal antitrust laws. The judges gave no reasons for their decision to reject the appeals.
In a series of posts on X, Epic boss Tim Sweeney wrote: “The Supreme Court turned down both sides' appeals of the Epic v. Apple antitrust case.”
This means that the court battle to open iOS to rival stores and payments is lost in the United States which his sad result for developers.
