Australia Orders Apple to Open iPhone App Stores
4 min read
An Australian Federal Court ordered Apple to allow rival app stores and direct downloads on iPhones starting 1 March 2027. Justice Jonathan Beach ruled Apple misused market power since November 2017, citing a 50 euro cent Core Technology Fee. Apple must pay 85% of Epic's 2025 legal costs, though the ruling applies only to Australia with no fixed end date.
