Apple wins ‘Epic’ battle over Fortnite, at least for now: Why it’s important for you

In a big win for Apple, the North Dakota State Senate has rejected a bill made by Epic Games lobbyists that would have forced Apple to allow users to download iOS apps on the iPhone without going through the App Store. Like Google allows third-party app stores and apk file installation, the lobbyists wanted a similar thing for iPhones as well.
The lawmakers voted the bill 11-36 and was listed as “do not pass”. However, this may be a small win for Apple as similar bills may be considered in regions like Georgia and Arizona. The fight between Apple and Epic Games is not nearing to end. Both the companies will go on trial on May 3, 2021 in California district court.
The fight between Apple and Epic Games heated up when Apple kicked out Fortnite game from the App Store, last year in August, for violating policies after Epic Games started using its own payment system.
