A stay is warranted in these circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more: Epic v. Apple could be a legal marathon as appeals wend through system<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apple specifically raised objections to links from digital storefronts within the App Store to external payment links for digital goods and services. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLinks and buttons to alternate payment mechanisms are fraught with risk,\u201d the company said in its filing. \u201cMoreover, because external links operate outside of iOS \u2014and outside of Apple\u2019s commerce engine \u2014 Apple has no visibility into their technological and financial functions, and limited ability to redress fraud by identifying and removing bad actors from the App Store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a<strong> <\/strong>proposed settlement of a 2019 class-action lawsuit from developers in August, Apple\u00a0agreed to allow app makers to direct their consumers to payment options outside the App Store. That concession, however, involved only communications outside the apps themselves, such as emails to consumers for which the developer has contact information.<\/p>\n<p>If Apple is unsuccessful in its appeal Friday, it would be forced to allow developers to link out from apps to alternate payment options as of Dec. 9, which could affect its multibillion-dollar App Store business. <\/p>\n<p>While Apple representatives continued to call the judge\u2019s decision a \u201cresounding victory,\u201d they said an appeal was necessary to challenge an \u201cincorrect injunction\u201d that could cause irreparable harm to Apple and its customers. They said Apple is working on potential solutions to address the injunction, but declined to say what they may be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In-depth: What is a platform, and what should one do?
