As the Court recognized вЂsuccess is not illegal.вЂ™ Apple faces rigorous competition in every segment in which we do business, and we believe customers and developers choose us because our products and services are the best in the world. Today the Court has affirmed what weвЂ™ve known all along: the App Store is not in violation of antitrust law. MacDailyNews Take: AppleвЂ™s statement to the press on Friday following the ruling: All developers for the first time could be able to include a button in their apps to let users pay for transactions online, circumventing AppleвЂ™s fees.

The judge, however, said that Apple has engaged in some anticompetitive conduct and she ordered the Cupertino, California-based technology giant to allow all app and game developers to steer consumers to outside payment methods on the web. She also rejected the need for third-party App Stores and didnвЂ™t force Apple to lower its App Store revenue cut of 15% to 30%вЂ¦ She also ordered Epic to pay at least $4 million in damages to Apple for breach of contract, which included collecting payments outside of AppleвЂ™s in-app-purchase system. She also didnвЂ™t rule that Apple needs to restore Fortnite, EpicвЂ™s hit game at the center of the lawsuit, to the App Store or EpicвЂ™s Apple developer account.

District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers mostly sided with Apple, rejecting EpicвЂ™s claims that the iPhone maker is a monopoly. On Sunday, вЂњFortniteвЂќ-maker Epic Games filed a notice of appeal following a judgeвЂ™s decision in its antitrust lawsuit against Apple that went mostly AppleвЂ™s way.
