Supreme Court Will Hear Apple's App Store Contempt Appeal
SCOTUS takes up Apple's fight to overturn a contempt ruling tied to its ongoing Epic legal battle.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear Apple's appeal seeking to escape a contempt finding in its long-running Epic case. A district judge had ruled in 2025 that Apple violated a court order requiring changes to the App Store.
Apple is now taking the fight to the highest court in the land. The contempt ruling stemmed from the company's alleged failure to comply with mandated App Store modifications — a core issue in the broader legal saga.
SCOTUS picking up the case is significant. It signals the justices see enough legal merit in Apple's arguments to warrant a full hearing. The outcome could have major implications for how App Store policies are enforced going forward.
Apple trades under AAPL.O. The case continues to be one of the most consequential antitrust battles in tech.
