Supreme Court sets January 11, 2027 arguments in Apple v. Epic
The hearing will address whether a lower court can declare conduct a violation of the "spirit" of the law, according to AppleInsider.
The US Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in the long-running case between Apple and Epic Games for January 11, 2027, according to appleinsider.com. The date was posted on the Supreme Court's website.
The arguments will center on whether a lower court can declare something a violation in the "spirit" of the law. That question is the focus of the appeal now headed to the justices.
The case pits Apple against Epic Games, the developer behind Fortnite, over app store rules. Earlier in the litigation, the Supreme Court convened for its October session and pushed the Apple and Epic arguments to 2027, moving the dispute out of the year's calendar.
With the January 11, 2027 slot now on the court's schedule, both companies are set to present their positions before the justices on that date.
