Is Apple LOSING to Epic Games?!

Apple's five-year war with Epic Games is finally circling the drain -- after getting slapped with contempt in 2025 for sneaking a 27% commission on external payments despite the court order, the Ninth Circuit just told Apple to pound sand on rehearing and now the iPhone maker's running to the Supreme Court begging for a miracle stay before a lower judge sets the final "reasonable" fee and basically guts their App Store cash cow for good. Yeah Epic's been winning round after round since Fortnite got the boot in 2020 for daring to bypass the 30% cut, and Apple's endless appeals are starting to look like a desperate Hail Mary while developers cheer and the rest of us watch the trillion-dollar gatekeeper get dragged kicking and screaming into the real world.
