In a battle of titans over the App Store's rules, the hearing and ruling gave only a few hints about how this may roll out. Epic's decision to break the rules before suing doesn't seem to help its case, but Apple's arguments about competition in the market also fall a bit flat. It could be many months before a final decision comes down — Fortnite players on iPhones should probably hope the two parties can negotiate an agreement before that happens.
