Following today’s court verdict that blew a rather large hole through Apple’s grubby mitts, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney announced that Fortnite will be returning to the iOS App Store in the US next week. The game has been off the store for over four years at this point following some back and forth shenanigans between Apple and Epic, where Epic decided to protest Apple’s 30% in-app purchase tax by adding its own in-app payment system within the game that bypassed Apple’s. Since this was an obvious (and planned) breach of App Store guidelines, Apple removed the game from the store, even…
Read MoreApple has today been ordered to pay more than $700 million to the Texas-based cellular technology company Optis in a landmark UK patent ruling (via ipfray).
In London, the England and Wales Court of Appeal today ruled that Apple must pay a lump sum of $502 million to Optis Cellular Technology LLC for the use of standard-essential 4G patents in iPhones and iPads over a 14-year period spanning from 2013 to 2027. The decision marks a dramatic increase from the $56.43 million originally awarded by the High Court in 2023. In addition to the revised damages figure, the new judgment also includes interest, which could exceed $200 million, bringing Apple’s total liability in the case to more than $700 million.
The dispute centers on whether Apple breached its obligations to license the patents on FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) terms, which are required under international standards for the use of essential wireless technology. Optis is a Texas-based entity that does not manufacture products but holds and licenses intellectual property. It first raised the case in London in 2019.
Apple had previously argued that the royalty rates proposed by Optis were excessive and not compliant with FRAND principles. In a statement provided to Reuters, Apple said “We are disappointed by this decision and plan to appeal.”
Optis makes no products and their sole business is to sue companies using patents they buy. We will continue to defend against their attempts to extract unreasonable payments.
The ruling is believed to be one of the largest patent damages awards in UK history. According to legal filings, Apple had previously expressed concern that an unfavorable royalty ruling could constitute grounds for exiting the UK market. While the company later walked back that position, the $700 million judgment moves the case significantly closer to that earlier worst-case scenario than had been anticipated following the High Court’s original determination.
Apple can still petition the UK Supreme Court to review the case, but such appeals are usually granted only in limited circumstances, such as significant points of law or matters of public interest.

Read MoreMacRumors is pleased to announce our Sixteenth Annual MacRumors Blood Drive, throughout the month of May 2025. Let’s save lives together by encouraging donations of blood, platelets, and plasma, and signing up as bone marrow and organ donors. While most blood drives are specific to a geographic location, our blood drive is online and worldwide. Anyone can participate.
Over the past 15 years, MacRumors Blood Drives have recorded donations of 1,565 units of blood, platelets, and plasma, cheered for donors, and celebrated new signups for the bone marrow and organ donor registries. We’ve heard from hundreds of forum members who donate or whose lives were saved by the donations of strangers.
This year’s featured donor is user Linda+, who donates platelets every 2 or 3 weeks. Whether you’re a regular donor like Linda+ or someone overcoming apprehension to donate for the very first time, we congratulate you.
After the MacRumors Blood Drive ends on May 31, continue recording your blood, platelet, and plasma donations, from June 2025 through next April 2026, on our Team MacRumors 2025-2026 page (instructions). We’ll tally your donations and count them for the MacRumors 2026 Blood Drive next May.

Samsung has recently been rumored to fully announce the Galaxy S25 Edge on May 13, with a release on May 23 in Korea and China, followed by other global markets including the US on May 30. Now, a new leak posted by legendary leaker Evan Blass seemingly confirmed the May 13 date. We say “confirmed”, past tense, since the leaked document has been taken down from X following a complaint from “the copyright holder”. This usually means Samsung itself has reached out to the social network asking for the material to be taken down, which it wouldn’t do unless it was accurate. So, one way…
