Gaming fans play “Fortnite” at the 2019 Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, on June 11, 2019
SAN FRANCISCO – In a court clash with potentially huge repercussions for the world of mobile tech, Fortnite maker Epic Games takes on Apple starting Monday aiming to break the grip of the iPhone maker on its online marketplace.
The case opening in federal court comes with Apple feeling pressure from a wide range of app makers over its tight control of the App Store, which critics say represents monopolistic behavior.
The two firms will be debating whether Apple has the right to set grounds rules, control payment systems and kick out apps from its marketplace that fail to comply.
Also at stake will be Apple’s slice of revenue from iPhone apps, as much as 30 percent.
