VK, formerly Mail.ru Group, has filed a lawsuit against Apple in a Moscow arbitration court after Apple pulled VK apps like VKontakte, VK Messenger, and Mail Cloud from the App Store in June to comply with EU sanctions. VK is demanding the apps be reinstated and is seeking daily penalties of roughly $696,000 if Apple refuses, which would total over $250 million annually.
Epic Games has filed a formal opposition to Apple's request to seal parts of its recent court filings on proposed commissions for purchases made outside the App Store via external links. Apple wants to redact financial figures, link-out adoption estimates, and developer survey data it calls commercially sensitive, but Epic argues the material is directly relevant to setting fair commission rates and should remain public. Epic also claims some of the data Apple wants hidden is either outdated or already publicly known.
