Apple is set to adjust its App Store policies in the U.S. following a court ruling, but the company plans to appeal the decision.
The ruling stems from a legal battle dating back to 2021, where Apple was found to violate an injunction related to its anti-steering practices in the App Store.
The court has ordered Apple to allow developers to include external purchase links in their apps, stop collecting fees on those purchases, and more, with immediate effect.
The court has emphasized that these changes must be implemented promptly and Apple cannot delay them during the appeal process, signaling a significant shift in how Apple handles in-app purchases in the U.S.
