US Supreme Court to Hear Apple Appeal in Epic Games Case; South Korea Alleges Google Market AbusePreviousNext

The US Supreme Court will hear Apple's appeal against a contempt ruling in its ongoing antitrust lawsuit with Epic Games, which challenges Apple's App Store policies and fees. The case, expected in the Court's October term, follows a lower court's finding that Apple violated a judicial order requiring changes to its App Store. Separately, South Korea's antitrust regulator accused Google of abusing its dominance in the Android app market, alleging practices that hinder competition and recommending penalties.
