This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sept 28 (Reuters) - Apple (AAPL.O) on Thursday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down an order requiring changes to its App Store rules stemming from an antitrust case brought by "Fortnite" owner Epic Games.

The iPhone maker has been in a legal battle with Epic since 2020, when the gaming firm alleged that Apple's requirement that developers distribute software through its App Store, where Apple charges up to 30% commissions on in-app payments on iPhones and other devices, violated U.S. antitrust rules.

Epic lost on those claims at trial in 2021, but a U.S. District Court judge ruled that Apple's practice of banning software developers from telling customers about alternative payment methods violated a California unfair competition law.

Apple on Thursday argued the lower court orders violate the U.S. Constitution because they overstep the powers of a federal judge.

Apple argued that the trial judge relied on a case brought by a single developer - rather than a broader class of developers - to justify a nationwide ban, without proving that the nationwide ban was needed to remedy the harm caused to Epic.

Epic on Wednesday also appealed lower court rulings in the Apple case.
