Today the Court has affirmed what weвЂ™ve known all along: the App Store is not in violation of antitrust law. MacDailyNews Take: AppleвЂ™s statement to the press on Friday following the ruling: All developers for the first time could be able to include a button in their apps to let users pay for transactions online, circumventing AppleвЂ™s fees. The judge, however, said that Apple has engaged in some anticompetitive conduct and she ordered the Cupertino, California-based technology giant to allow all app and game developers to steer consumers to outside payment methods on the web.

She also rejected the need for third-party App Stores and didnвЂ™t force Apple to lower its App Store revenue cut of 15% to 30%вЂ¦ She also ordered Epic to pay at least $4 million in damages to Apple for breach of contract, which included collecting payments outside of AppleвЂ™s in-app-purchase system. She also didnвЂ™t rule that Apple needs to restore Fortnite, EpicвЂ™s hit game at the center of the lawsuit, to the App Store or EpicвЂ™s Apple developer account. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers mostly sided with Apple, rejecting EpicвЂ™s claims that the iPhone maker is a monopoly. On Sunday, вЂњFortniteвЂќ-maker Epic Games filed a notice of appeal following a judgeвЂ™s decision in its antitrust lawsuit against Apple that went mostly AppleвЂ™s way.
