Supreme Court Grants Apple 1-Day Pause in Epic Antitrust Fight

Summary
Justice Elena Kagan halted California trial-court proceedings until 5 p.m. Thursday, giving Apple a one-day reprieve in its App Store antitrust battle with Epic Games.
The administrative stay gives the Supreme Court more time to weigh Apple's request for a longer-term block on further lower-court action.
Without the order, Apple had been due to file in the US District Court for the Northern District of California by Wednesday afternoon.
The pause keeps a long-running dispute over App Store rates and rules temporarily on hold while the justices decide whether to extend relief.
