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.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
