Apple asks judge to co-operate on its legal antics

Help us stuff up Fortnite’s victory

The fruity cargo cult Apple has asked a US federal judge to help it mess up an antitrust victory by Epic Games.

For those who came in late, US district Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September required Apple to no longer prohibit app developers from including buttons or links in their apps that direct users to means of paying beside Apple's in-app payment system, which charges a commission to developers.

Apple, which uses its large cash pile to keep court cases going for years rather than change its business model, has asked Rogers to put on hold orders that could require it to change some of its App Store practices and said that it is also appealing the ruling in an antitrust case brought by "Fortnite" creator Epic Games.

Apple’s strategy was seen when Apple would rather take a case to the Supreme court rather than admit that Steve Jobs arranged a cartel with book publishers to raise the cost of ebooks at the expense of Amazon.
