Meant to post this on Monday but lost it in the fray...
9 out of 10 claims ruled in favour of Apple.
""A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
ruled 2 to 1 that Apple’s tight control of its App Store did not violate federal antitrust law."" -NYTimes.
One area where the court favoured Epic is in the "anti steering" aspect
for payments. So this now has to be worked out - though Apple might
appeal that as well.
""While siding with Apple on a majority of Epic’s claims, the judges
also agreed with the lower court that Apple was violating California’s
Unfair Competition Law by prohibiting app developers from directing
their customers to payment methods outside the App Store, which charges
a 30 percent fee. Apple suggested that it could further appeal that
ruling."" -NYTimes
