Epic Games Inc.âs courtroom struggle against Apple Inc. is expected to end Monday with a debate-style format in which the judge will drill each side with questions regarding their cases.The trialâs consequence will repeat far outside the Oakland, Calif., courtroom as Apple faces inspection from lawmakers, regulators, and software developers who say the company exercises too much control and restricts competition within its App Store. Apple has pushed back against those claims, pointing to the competition it faces from other app stores and devices and the companyâs desire to provide a consistent experience for users.The judge is expected to rule in the coming months.During the three-week trial, Epic has argued that Apple unfairly blocks third-party app stores on its mobile devices and forces developers to use its in-app payment system for all digital transactions, allowing it to collect a commission as high as 30%. In response, Apple has stated that there are multiple ways for users to access Epicâs âFortniteâ videogame and that its commission is in line with that of other platforms take. Apple has argued that Epic is merely trying to take advantage of Appleâs investment and store without paying its fair share.
