Epic has appealed but the odds of winning that appeal are extremely low. The trial court judge was following the law and made the correct ruling, after all.
Apple doesn't have a monopoly over the cell phone market. Apple users are there because they want to be there. Companies like Epic have to follow Apple's rules and pay Apple's tax.
The Epic lawsuit isn't about Apple, it's about establishing a precedent which would break the power of Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and other "platform" owners, all of which are American and Japanese, and all of which block virtually all Chinese "video games" out of their marketplaces, with rare exceptions.
The CCP knows it cannot make a competing video game console, yet it is very heavily invested in the video game industry through Tencent buying everything that isn't nailed down. So the strategy is to break the power of the platforms so that the CCP can flood the West with Chinese trash games.
Didn't Epic already lose that lawsuit?
Yes Epic already lost.
