Apple tries to delay ruling that bars it from taking a cut on external app payments

Key takeaways:

Apple's Response: Apple filed an emergency motion to delay the enforcement of this ruling, arguing that it would cause "irreparable harm" to its business operations and revenue streams.
Legal Argument: Apple contends that the new ruling significantly expands the scope of a previous injunction from 2021, which did not explicitly forbid the company from charging commissions on external payments.
Compliance Measures: Despite the ruling, Apple had implemented a 27% fee on external transactions and displayed warning messages, actions that the court found to be in violation of the earlier injunction.
Industry Impact: Following the court's decision, companies like Spotify and Amazon updated their iOS apps to include links directing users to their own websites for payments, bypassing Apple's in-app purchase system
