Apple was granted a delay today to its deadline to make changes to the App Store following the massive antitrust lawsuit with Epic Games that was settled earlier this year. Now it will no longer have to make those changes by December 9, and it’s unclear at the moment if it will have to make them at all.
The Apple vs Epic case was settled with a ruling from Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers earlier this year. The long and short of the decision is that Apple must allow third-party payment options on the App Store, and must make the necessary changes by December 9 of this year. As one might imagine, Apple was not happy with this outcome and asked Judge Rogers for a delay. Judge Rogers denied it. Apple has also appealed her ruling. Now, just a few hours before the new payment options would have had to go live in the App Store, Apple has gotten a reprieve.
