s the iPhone maker promised previously, it has submitted the appeal for the recent U.S. court order, in which the Apple company needed to open the App Store
for different external Apple payment methods.
U.S. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized last week the Apple company because it tried to oppose the recent court order that was imposed in the Apple Epic Games lawsuit. Apple was recently accused that has not allowing certain apps to have alternative Apple payment options besides the Apple App Store.
In Apple’s court notice, the company is planning to demand the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the recent ruling, that has been imposed on April 30. However, this U.S. court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards, which require all purchases to be closed through the App Store in order to take commissions from all in-app acquisitions.
“This is an injunction, not a negotiation,”, The U.S. court Judge stated in the recent court order. The U.S. judge also accused Apple of trying to avoid the court’s order using unreasonable rules and conditions.
It should be mentioned that after the April 30 U.S. judge's decision, the iPhone maker respected the judgment and changed quickly the App Store standards for the U.S. developers, and has approved different app updates for allowing users to make in-app purchases.
"Apple sought to maintain a revenue stream worth billions in direct defiance of this court’s injunction,", the U.S. Judge also stated.
