Fortnite back on iPhone in US: Here's how to download it from iOS App Store
Following more than four years of legal back-and-forth, Fortnite has officially returned to the US App Store, and players on iPhones and iPads can finally play.
The long-running standoff between Epic Games and Apple came to a close following a court ruling on 30 April 2025, which forced Apple to revise its App Store terms of service.
The core issue stemmed from a dispute that began in 2020, when Epic introduced its own in-game payment system to bypass Apple's transaction fees.
Following the ruling, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney confirmed that he 'would return Fortnite to the US iOS App Store next week.'
Fortnite, on Tuesday afternoon posted, 'Fortnite is BACK on the App Store in the U.S. on iPhones and iPads... and on the Epic Games Store and AltStore in the E.U! It'll show up in Search soon!' to which Sweeny shared, and expressed, 'we back fam.'
Now, fans can once again download Fortnite directly from the App Store, link their Epic Games accounts, and jump into matches just like old times.

From Moradabad to Apple's next COO: How wealthy is Sabih Khan & how did a boy from UP make it to big tech's inner circle?
Apple has quietly made a big move. As reported, Sabih Khan, the company's long-time Senior Vice President of Operations, will officially become Chief Operating Officer (COO) by late July 2025, taking over from veteran Jeff Williams. This headline-worthy promotion puts Khan at the heart of Apple's future, managing one of the world's most complex and powerful supply chains. Who is Sabih Khan? Born in 1966 in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, Sabih Khan's journey is nothing short of inspiring. His family moved to Singapore when he was in 5th grade, and later relocated to the United States. He holds dual bachelor's degrees in Economics and Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University, followed by a master's in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Before joining Apple, Khan worked at GE Plastics as an applications development engineer and technical lead. Live Events 30 Years at Apple: The Quiet Powerhouse Khan joined Apple in 1995, starting in the procurement group. Over the decades, he has worked across: Planning Procurement Manufacturing Logistics In 2019, Apple CEO Tim Cook promoted him to Senior VP of Operations, trusting him to oversee Apple's entire supply chain. From launching iPhones to handling COVID disruptions and US-China trade tensions, Khan has been a driving force behind Apple's seamless operations. A New Chapter Begins: COO from July 2025 After working closely with Jeff Williams for 27 years, Khan is stepping into his mentor's shoes. Williams called him 'the most talented operations executive on the planet.' Unlike many high-profile execs, Khan stays out of the spotlight. He doesn't headline launch events or grab media attention. But behind the scenes, he's Apple's engine, ensuring products roll out on time, factories stay efficient, and suppliers follow ethical guidelines. What Comes Next for Khan, and Apple? As COO, Sabih Khan will face some of Apple's biggest challenges yet: Global trade uncertainty Supply chain disruptions Growing pressure for sustainable practices But if his past is anything to go by, Apple's operations are in steady hands. Net Worth and Personal Life While exact figures on his net worth are not available, based on his executive role and years of service, industry watchers believe he has earned a substantial compensation package. His personal life remains private, and little is known about his family. This matches his quiet, behind-the-scenes work style. Inputs from TOI

iPhone 16 Pro gets a massive price slash as Flipkart GOAT sale heats up, drops prices just before iPhone 17 arrives
While Apple loyalists keep an eye out for the iPhone 17, Flipkart is busy clearing the decks. The Flipkart GOAT Sale 2025 has slashed the price of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max quite heavily. The iPhone 16 Pro Max now sits at Rs 1,09,900 instead of its launch price of Rs 1,29,900. The iPhone 16 Pro is down too — Rs 1,54,900 from Rs 1,64,900. Throw in an extra Rs 4,000 off if you've got a Flipkart Axis Bank credit card and the deal gets even sweeter. These phones still hold their own. The iPhone 16 Pro brings a 6.3‑inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. The Pro Max stretches that to 6.9 inches. Both run Apple's A18 chip and carry 8GB RAM plus 128GB storage at the base. The cameras remain a highlight — a triple rear setup with a 48MP main sensor, 48MP ultra‑wide and 12MP telephoto. Selfies and video calls? A crisp 12MP front camera sorts that. Battery life is decent too: 3582mAh for the Pro, 4685mAh for the Pro Max, both supporting 25W wireless charging. They're offered in Titanium White, Titanium Desert and Titanium Black. 'The iPhone 16 series made a lot of buzz at the time of launch,' as tech insiders pointed out last year. And rightly so. The Pro versions stand apart with high-end displays, solid build and a camera system that can still rival the best. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 20 Most Expensive Cars Undo Is it worth buying right now? The big question. With the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max set to land soon, some might think waiting makes more sense. But not everyone wants to pay top dollar for the very latest. 'It is worthwhile to note that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to go up the price ladder when launched,' say market analysts. If you want a top-tier iPhone but don't fancy stretching your budget, these GOAT Sale deals look very appealing. More premium deals in the mix Flipkart isn't stopping at iPhones. If you want an alternative, the Google Pixel 8a is now Rs 37,999 — decent price for a phone that's all about clean Android and sharp cameras. The Samsung Galaxy S24 sits at Rs 46,999, packing a punch with the Exynos 2400 chip, a vibrant AMOLED display and a triple camera. If you're leaning Samsung but want it a bit cheaper, the Galaxy S24 FE is Rs 35,999. Live Events How the base iPhone 16 fits in Don't overlook the standard iPhone 16. At launch in India it started at Rs 79,900 for 128GB. Now, Flipkart's sale has dragged it down to Rs 69,999. Early shoppers even grabbed it for Rs 59,999 when the sale kicked off on 12 July. Bank offers, cashback and EMI deals make it lighter on the wallet too. The iPhone 16 holds up well: 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, A18 Bionic chip, 48MP main camera with next-gen stabilisation, 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. It runs iOS 18 and folds in Apple's new AI smarts through Apple Intelligence.
