Apple’s App Store, the only way software apps can get onto iPhones or other Apple mobile devices, is at the heart of a trial with Epic Games opening in a federal court across the bay from San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO: While Apple chief Tim Cook touts the brand’s App Store as an economic miracle, Fortnite-maker Epic Games says developers suffer under its tyranny.
The online shop — the only way software apps can get onto iPhones or other Apple mobile devices — is at the heart of a trial opening Monday in a federal court across the bay from San Francisco.
Apple opened its App Store in July 2008, a year after the release of the first iPhone.
The shop, stocked with mobile apps tailored for devices powered by iOS mobile software, was quickly imitated by rival smartphone makers.
