Epic is seeking an injunction against Apple's App Store because external payments there are still anti-competitive

Epic Games has not yet stopped suing Apple. A 2021 ruling forced Apple to allow app developers from the App Store to link to external payment systems, and now Epic has filed a motion with a judge to enforce the ruling.

Epic claims that Apple’s updated developer policy, which still leaves a 27% fee on external payments (or 12% for small developers), is still unjustified. Epic claims that these fees are “essentially the same” as those the company charges for using its payment system, reports The Verge.

Christian Owens, founder of the Paddle payment system, and Benjamin Simon, founder of the Down Dog iOS fitness app, agreed in statements also filed with Epic. Owens called the choice offered by Apple “illusory,” and Simon said his company, Yoga Buddhi Co. will still be forced to charge a higher subscription fee for the iOS version than the web version.

Epic also claims that Apple requires developers to use a certain “simple button style” that Epic says is “not a button at all” and violates Apple’s injunction, which prohibits developers from pointing out to customers alternative payment “buttons, external links or other solicitations to action”.
