Apple and Epic have both requested the court to review the ruling.

According to Gadget360 , Apple and Epic have recently both asked a US appeals court to review a ruling from April. This ruling was made in an antitrust lawsuit, requiring Apple to change its payment methods within the App Store.

Both companies filed separate documents, seeking a review of the ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals based in San Francisco. Lawyers for both companies said the panel should either retry the case or the court should convene an "en banc," a panel of eleven judges, to reconsider the dispute.

Apple and Epic have both requested the court to review the ruling in April.

The three judges' decision upheld the 2021 ruling in California federal court concerning Epic's lawsuit alleging that Apple illegally required software developers to pay up to 30% commission on in-app purchases. The judges ruled that Apple violated California's unfair competition laws, but not U.S. antitrust provisions.

Apple's new filing challenges the nationwide ban on the aforementioned conduct. Epic, for its part, argues that its claims relate to the "core purpose" of U.S. antitrust law, which is to promote competition. Epic also argues that the appeals court failed to strike a proper balance between consumer interests and Apple's anti-competitive effects.

However, the Federal appeals courts in the U.S. typically do not grant "en banc" requests. Last year, the courts received 646 requests for retrials, but only 12 were considered.

Besides Epic, competition authorities in several other countries, including South Korea, the Netherlands, and Japan, have also taken steps to force Apple to open up alternative payment systems within its apps.
