Purchases made on the US App Store helped Apple earn over $10 billion in commissions last year, TechCrunch reports, citing an analysis by Appfigures. Apple earns this revenue by taking a percentage of every transaction made through its payment system on the App Store.

This ruling confirms what developers have argued for years—that Apple’s restrictive policies suppress innovation rather than protect consumers.

After filing an appeal, Apple is now asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to pause the Epic vs. Apple injunction requirements that prevent the company from restricting external links in iOS apps and charging fees on purchases made outside the App Store.
