Apple Closes Epic Games’ App Store Developer Account
|
Apple started to fight with Epic Games due to Fortnite’s bypassing its own payment system, and Apple closed the App Store account of Epic Games. The company stated that Unreal Engine will not be affected by this situation.
One of the biggest events that has been on the agenda of the technology world recently was the fight between Epic Games, the owner of Fortnite, and Apple. Fortnite somehow managed to bypass Apple’s payment system, as a result, it was removed from the App Store.
In a statement, Apple announced that Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, also closed its account in Apple’s app store App Store during the ongoing legal war.
Apple closes Epic’s App Store account
Apple has closed the App Store account of Epic Games and announced that Unreal Engine, which is used by many application developers and also belongs to Epic Games, will not be affected by this event. According to the statement made by the company, iPhone users will not be able to download Fortnite and other Epic Games games through the App Store.
Players who have already downloaded Epic Games’ games will be able to continue playing the game without any problems, but will not be able to make any in-game purchases through the Apple payment system. The federal court said on Monday that Apple could block Epic’s games but could not take action that could damage the Unreal Engine.
Apple said it will allow Fortnite to be in its store if Epic Games removes the in-game purchase that Apple’s payment system bypassed. However, Epic dismissed it, saying it would “turn a blind eye to Apple’s monopoly of in-app payments on iOS”.
Apple said, “The court has suggested that while the case is pending, Epic must comply with the App Store guidelines they have consented to over the past 10 years until they uncover it.” The company said that the App Store rules were broken many times with Fortnite updates, and this is not fair for other app developers on iOS.

Apple's FineWoven cases rumored to get one final release – AppleInsider
Apple has probably stopped production of its poorly-received FineWoven cases for the iPhone, but a new report from the same herald of its death says there is one last set of seasonal colorways coming.
Now according to leaker Kosutami, who first reported the cancellation, there could still be one more push for the FineWoven cases.
Pressed on the rumor, Kosutami emphasizes later in the same thread that if this is correct, it will be for only one more season. It’s now almost eight months since the launch of the iPhone 15 range, so it’s unlikely that there is to be a new mid-cycle color of the iPhone, but perhaps there can yet be new colors for the FineWoven cases.
Consequently, this rumor can at best be said to be possible, especially if Apple had already committed resources to the new colors. However, since FineWoven has proven to be startlingly poor at stain resistance or even just durability, it’s more believable that it is gone for good than it is that FineWoven will get a last hoorah.
