On April 24, 2023, the Ninth Circuit handed down its decision in the Epic Games, Inc. v. Apple Inc. appeal. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court’s conclusion that Apple’s App Store anti-steering rules violated California’s Unfair Competition Law and upheld the nationwide injunction against those rules. Ruling on Epic’s antitrust challenge to Apple’s prohibition on app distribution outside of the App Store and its requirement that developers exclusively use Apple’s In-App Purchase payment system for purchases within an app, the Ninth Circuit reversed on certain of the district court’s underlying legal conclusions but ultimately agreed that Epic had failed to provide sufficient evidence that Apple’s restrictions violate the federal antitrust laws.
