Apple can keep its App Store payment rules for now, according to the Supreme Court.

As first reported by Bloomberg and Reuters, Justice Elena Kagan declined to vacate a stay on a lower court order about Apple’s anti-steering rules.

The Supreme Court has rejected Epic’s request to make Apple loosen its App Store rules as a legal battle progresses.

The district court order was one of Epic’s limited wins in a high-profile antitrust case over iOS App Store in-app purchase fees.

It had decided that Apple had violated California’s Unfair Competition Law by preventing developers from using links to direct users to payment methods outside the App Store.

However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed that part of the ruling in July, giving Apple 90 days to petition the Supreme Court before it decided on the merits of the case.
