We all know how bitter the Apple vs. Epic Games case went in the USA. Following an appeal, the Australian court has given Epic Games the green to continue its lawsuit against Apple.
This is the latest development in the legendary long-running pile of lawsuits Epic Games filed against Apple for Apple’s exorbitantly high commission fees on apps available in the Apple App Store.
According to Epic Games, Apple indulges in unfair trade practices by charging 30% to app developers. Last year, the US Apple vs. Epic Games case was filed by Epic because Apple decided to remove Epic Games’ Fortnite from its app store.

Fortnite can sue Apple in Australia for illegally wielding control over its iPhones and iPads, the Federal Court has found.
Epic Games originally sued Apple in November 2020, alleging Appleâs tight control of its App Store amounted to breaches of Australian Consumer Law and the Competition and Consumer Act because Apple illegally âforces Epic (and other app developers) to only use Appleâs App Store to distribute its software applications ⦠and to only use Appleâs payment platform for purchases of their in-app content by iOS device usersâ.
Epicâs game Fortnite will now be at the centre of a case in the Federal Court.Â
