Apple Objects to Links to Outside Payments Ahead of Epic Games Hearing

Apple on Friday outlined its objections to allowing app developers to link to third-party payment options before a hearing held next month, which may decide whether to suspend a series of antitrust court orders. After a prolonged trial by Fortnite creator Epic Games earlier this year, U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers issued a report that is largely conducive to iPhone manufacturing.

The company’s ruling, and supports its practice of requiring developers to use its in-app payment system, for which it charges commissions. But Gonzalez Rogers (Gonzalez Rogers) expressed concern about consumers not being able to obtain information about other app payment methods. She ordered Apple to stop prohibiting “buttons, external links, or other calls to action that lead customers to purchase mechanisms” beyond Apple’s own payment system.

Apple must execute the order before December 9, but the company has appealed the ruling and requested that the order be suspended during the appeal period, which may take a year or more. A hearing on the request is scheduled for November 9. Apple first stated on Friday that its strongest objection is to allow buttons and links to provide “mechanisms” for external payments.

The document made the first recommendation that Apple is less strongly opposed to allowing developers to provide information about other payment methods. The company stated that links and buttons impaired its ability to require developers to use its in-app payment (IAP), and the court upheld this.
