Apple overwhelmingly prevails against Epic Games in antitrust appeal, cementing control over iOS App Store

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Apple's practices in its App Store do not violate antitrust laws.
The appeals court upheld a lower court order that said Apple violated California competition laws by forcing developers to use its payment system.
The ruling is a major defeat for Epic Games and others hoping to force Apple to allow third-party app stores and payment options on iOS.
Apple may have to allow developers to link to third-party payment options to avoid Apple's commissions.
The ruling has implications for challenges to concentration of power in Big Tech.
