US Supreme Court denied Apple’s request to stay a 9th Circuit contempt order over App Store fees.
Justice Elena Kagan declined to pause the ruling, preventing Apple from delaying its full Supreme Court appeal.
The contempt order from Epic Games’ suit forces Apple to allow payment links and adds a 27% commission on off‑App Store sales.
Apple continues to charge a 30% commission for in‑App Store purchases, while its stock rose 0.43% after the decision.
