Fortnite returns to iOS in Australia after court rules Apple violated competition law
Fortnite has returned to iOS devices in Australia following a Federal Court ruling that found Apple violated competition law by restricting alternative app stores and payment methods. The court's decision, which cited Apple's substantial market power, mandates changes to the App Store policies, including allowing direct app downloads from developers and alternative payment options. This ruling is seen as a significant victory for consumers and developers, with Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney hailing it as a major win.
