APPLE LOSES ITS APPEAL OF A SCATHING CONTEMPT RULING IN IOS PAYMENTS CASE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple was found to be in willful violation of a 2021 injunction intended to open up iOS App Store Payments in April. That contempt of court finding has now been almost entirely upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Apple may still be able to charge a 'reasonable fee' for payments made outside its App Store based on actual costs to ensure user security and privacy. The ruling means that there will likely soon be rapid adoption of outside payment processors.
