Fortnite is still not available for iOS users for no apparent reason
Even though Epic Games won a decisive court battle with Apple earlier this month, allowing Fortnite to be accessible through Apple's official App Store, the game still hasn't made a comeback for iOS. According to Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, there's no reason for Apple to delay the review process either.
Each app undergoes an extensive review before being published on the App Store, and it looks like Apple's review team is purposely holding off on Fortnite despite the court's decision to allow Epic Games to offer an external payment system that doesn't go through Apple.
The dispute began in 2020 when Epic Games submitted a version of the app that included an external payment system, violating Apple's rules, which prohibit payment methods that bypass Apple's payment system.
The court has since ruled in Epic Games' favor. Of course, Apple appealed the most recent ruling and is asking the court to pause any App Store changes until the court makes its final decision.
