Epic Games formally asked the Supreme Court on Friday to leave Apple’s civil contempt ruling in place, filing its response brief in the case. Epic argues Apple “devised a plan to circumvent the injunction” with its 27% commission on external purchases, and points to the trial court’s finding that an Apple finance executive “outright lied under oath” about when the fee was set. Apple’s reply brief is due December 14, with oral arguments scheduled for January 11, 2027.
