Apple-Epic trial: CEO Tim Cook takes the stand in defence of App Store Apple is counting on CEO Tim Cook's appearance to put the finishing touches on its defence against an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, maker of the popular video game Fortnite that knocked out of the App Store. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers isn't likely to issue a decision until this summer. Those alternatives would include Epic's still-unprofitable app store, which charges a commission of just 12%.Apple's app store, in contrast, has become far more profitable than its late co-founder, Steve Jobs , ever envisioned when he opened it 13 years ago. "Your formulation seems to ignore the reality that customers choose an ecosystem," Gonzalez Rogers told Epic lawyer Gary Bornstein. But on Monday warned she may need even more time to review thousands of pages of information submitted during the case.
