Supreme Court agrees to review Apple's Epic Games contempt appeal

The Supreme Court granted certiorari on June 30, 2026 in Apple Inc. v. Epic Games (No. 25-1311), limited to whether a party can be held in civil contempt for violating the spirit of an injunction. The Ninth Circuit had upheld the contempt finding over App Store commissions on external purchases. The case returns to Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, who will decide what commission, if any, Apple can charge.
