Apple's loses bid to halt court ruling that blocks some fees from its iPhone app store
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A three-judge appeals panel rejected Apple's request to pause an April 30 order banning the company from charging a fee on in-app iPhone transactions processed outside its once-exclusive payment system in a two-page decision issued late Thursday. The setback threatens to divert billions of dollars in revenue away from Apple while it tried to overturn the order reining in its commissions from e-commerce within iPhone apps. Apple sought to put the order on hold after it was issued by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers in a stinging rebuke that also held the Cupertino, California, company in civil contempt of court and recommended opening a criminal investigation into whether one of its executives had committed perjury while testifying in her Oakland, California, courtroom. It marked another twist of the screw in a legal battle initiated nearly five years ago by video game maker Epic Games, which alleged Apple had turned the iPhone's app store had been turned into a price-gouging monopoly. The antitrust case focused largely on the 15% to 30% commissions that Apple rakes in from a portion of the commerce conducted within iPhone apps under a system that prohibited app makers from offering alternative payment methods. Apple is still seeking to overturn Gonzalez-Rogers' ruling in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, but her order blocking Apple's commissions on some in-app commerce will remain in effect while potentially leaving a dent in its profits. 'The long national nightmare of the Apple tax is ended,' Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney wrote in a post after the appeals court denied Apple's request. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Although Gonzalez-Rogers mostly sided with Apple in her initial 2021 ruling in the case, she ordered the company to begin allowing apps to include links to alternative payment systems — a decision that withstood appeals that went all the way to the Supreme Court in 2024. Apple then complied by requiring commissions of 12% to 27%, provoking Epic to ask Gonzalez-Rogers to hold Apple in contempt of her order. After holding a new round of hearings that unfolded over a nine-month period straddling last year and this year, Gonzalez-Rogers brought down another legal hammer on Apple.

Apple iOS 18: Are You In The 12% Of iPhone Users Missing Out?
Are you on the latest version of iPhone software or have you never installed iOS 18 on your phone? Apple has just released figures for the uptake of its latest iPhone and iPad software. Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max AFP via Getty Images The figures (released here) show an overwhelming majority of users are on the latest software, and that there's been a notable increase since the last time figures were released, in January 2025. At that point, 68% of all iPhones had updated to iOS 18, a figure that has now climbed to 82%. For iPhones introduced in the last four years, the figures are higher. Back in January, 76% of these iPhones had iOS 18 installed. Now, that's 88%. In other words, just 12% of those iPhone users are missing out. One of the key reasons Apple is able to boast such figures is that when an update is ready, it's instantly available to all compatible iPhones at the same time, thanks to its integration of hardware and software. Rivals like Android can't match this as each hardware manufacturer introduces their own version for their phone — look no further than the extremely belated introduction of Android 15 to Samsung Galaxy phones this year. Most iPhone users set their devices for automatic updates, so it's all done effortlessly, though you can of course control when you apply the update if you prefer. Security seems to be a big driver for users to update: as you'll know if you read my regular Should You Upgrade? posts, it's clear that the best way to keep your device safe is to keep the software current. It's also one of the reasons that when the next OS is out, Apple also releases new updates for the previous version, for those users who aren't quite ready to jump into the next series but want full security. The latest software also means you have the most recent features and improvements, which in turn adds to longevity goals. For the iPad, figures are also strong. Of all iPads, 71% use iPadOS 18 and of iPads introduced in the last four years, it's 81%. Though these aren't quite as high, it's worth remembering that iPads are particularly durable products, lasting for years, perhaps more than a decade, before they need replacing. In that context, the usage is especially impressive.

Apple says 82% of compatible iPhones are running iOS 18
Apple said on Thursday that more than 82% of compatible iPhones are running its latest smartphone operating system, iOS 18, up from 68% in January. The company revealed iOS 18 last June during WWDC, and started rolling it out to users in September 2024. The iPhone XR/XS and newer models can run iOS 18. It's worth noting that Apple counts all the different versions of iOS 18 as one for these metrics, so it is not clear how many iPhones are running the latest version of iOS 18. The company also said that 71% of eligible iPads are now running iPadOS 18. The company said more than 88% of iPhones released in the last four years are running iOS 18, up from 76% in January. About 81% of iPads released in the same time frame are running iPadOS 18. The company didn't specify any usage numbers for Apple Intelligence. Apple is set to reveal the new version of iOS, rumored to be dubbed 'iOS 26,' next Monday at WWDC 2025. You can watch the keynote presentation here.
