🔥 The Hot Corner

💬 Quoted… “[A] resounding victory.”

Yesterday, Apple won its antitrust-focused court battle with Fortnite-maker Epic Games over its App Store policies. An opinion issued by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed an earlier judge’s ruling that the iPhone-maker did not violate antitrust law by banning competing app marketplaces on its devices, and ultimately sided with Apple on every issue except one – the ruling states it's unlawful for Apple to prohibit developers from pointing users to other means of payment outside of its App Store.

  • Bottom line: Apple’s control over the App Store and the fees it charges likely won’t change significantly as a result of the ongoing legal challenge by Epic Games.

🤖💼 Stat of the Day: Some 62% of US workers believe AI will have a major impact on jobholders overall in the next two decades; on the flip side, just 28% think it will have a major impact on their work personally, per a new Pew Research survey.

🤯 Did You Know?... A 2002 peer-reviewed study found about one in every eight US employees had worked at McDonald’s at some point in their life.
