Apple Asks Supreme Court to Review App Store Contempt Ruling

Apple is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a contempt ruling tied to its App Store rules and link-out fees.

Lower courts said Apple violated an injunction from its Epic Games case by keeping anti-steering limits and charging fees on outside payment links.

The Ninth Circuit upheld the contempt finding but allowed Apple to charge a reasonable fee.

The case could shape how far court orders reach in app marketplace disputes and whether Apple can keep taxing app payment links.
