Lower courts found Apple willfully defied a 2021 order requiring it to allow developers to direct users to external payment options. Apple complied but imposed a 27% commission on external-link purchases, which courts ruled effectively nullified the order. The Ninth Circuit upheld the contempt finding but said a full ban on commissions went too far, allowing Apple to charge fees 'genuinely and reasonably necessary' for coordinating external purchases. The Supreme Court will hear the case in its October term, with a ruling expected by June 2027. The outcome could set global precedent for how Apple manages App Store fees, with regulators in the EU, Brazil, India, and the UK all watching closely. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
