Apple and Epic clash in a new joint court filing over document production and discovery in their ongoing App Store dispute. Epic argues that Apple is effectively manufacturing a pause or artificial delay in the legal proceedings, despite Apple agreeing to requests made during discovery.
Apple counters that it is complying and rejects Epic’s claims. The dispute centers on the status of document production, with the two sides offering opposing characterizations of whether there has been undue lag. Outlet coverage also notes that the fight continues amid expectations of a major Supreme Court-related development, which has heightened both sides’ focus on the speed and completeness of discovery.
While the broader underlying case remains the same, the latest filings focus narrowly on process—what documents have been produced, what remains, and whether any delay is attributable to the opposing party’s actions rather than the ordinary pace of litigation. The disagreement does not resolve merits in the underlying dispute but signals continued procedural tension as the case progresses.
