Apple vs Epic Games antitrust battle: A brief timeline

Apple and Epic Games are returning to the court following last year’s verdict which ruled in favour of the former on 9 out of 10 counts. Epic had alleged anti-competitive behaviour on part of Apple, accusing the tech giant of monopolistic practices. The videogame publisher was obviously unhappy with the verdict as it had wanted Apple to allow third-party payments, which would’ve helped it increase its revenue. But it wasn’t a complete victory for Apple either, as the company was ordered to remove its anti-steering rules that banned developers from telling users about alternatives to Apple’s in-app purchase system.
