Apple's request to pause App Store fee changes while seeking Supreme Court review has been denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The ruling forces Apple to continue allowing developers to use external payment systems without collecting fees. The final outcome will determine whether Apple can charge commission fees on purchases made outside the App Store.
