In a recent filing related to its ongoing legal dispute with Epic Games, Apple has proposed a structure that would enable it to collect fees on digital purchases made through external links, bypassing its in-app purchase system. Epic Games has responded, stating that Apple's request exceeds the court's guidance. Currently, Apple is prohibited from taking a commission on external purchases following a ruling by California district court judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in April 2025, which determined that Apple did not comply with her 2021 injunction in the case of Epic Games v. Apple.
