Apple-Epic Games Dispute and App Store Wars

The ongoing feud between Apple and Epic Games escalates with Apple terminating Epic's developer account, preventing new app submissions and updates on the app store. This conflict originated from Epic's attempt to bypass Apple's payment system in Fortnite, leading to accusations of Apple engaging in monopolistic practices. While Apple argues that its actions are to uphold fairness and safety, Epic Games advocates for competitive freedom and innovation. The legal battle expands to include Epic's push for a third-party app store in the EU, blocked by Apple despite new regulations promoting competition, raising concerns about competition and control in digital markets.
