On May 3, 2025, a U.S. district court judge ruled that Apple must remove the restrictions it imposed on cryptocurrency payment applications on the iOS platform. The ruling confirmed that Apple violated a court order issued in 2021 during its legal dispute with Epic Games due to imposing exorbitant fees and restrictions on payments outside its payment system. As a result, Apple has now allowed developers to direct users to external payment systems, including those that use cryptocurrencies, without imposing commissions on in-app purchases.
