Apple makes a "last stand" at the Supreme Court over App Store fees, while Epic Games strikes a silent truce with Google to focus on its greatest adversary.
Google and Epic settled their antitrust suit, proposing changes to open the Play Store. The deal mandates third-party stores, alternative payments, and new fee caps (9-20%).
The Supreme Court denied Google's appeal, forcing the company to revise Play Store policies by Oct 22. Developers must now be allowed to use alternative payment systems.
