(CN) Apple and Epic Games clashed over security and privacy on their respective platforms on Friday, as an antitrust trial between the two industry titans wrapped its first week.
Epic sued Apple after it was banned from the App Store in August 2020 for breaching Apple’s strict rules in order to launch its own game store and alternative system for processing payments for in-app purchases by iPhone users.
