App and game developers have chafed under Apple's App Store rules and fees for years, and Epic Games claimed to represent not only itself but also the interests of the broader developer ecosystem by suing Apple claiming that it violated antitrust law. Monday's ruling in the Ninth Circuit Court affirmed the decision that primarily found Apple did not violate antitrust law by banning competing app marketplaces on iPhones.
However, Apple lost one claim and had to allow developers to place links inside their apps so users could make purchases outside the App Store.
