Apple has lost a key bid to delay court-ordered changes to its App Store policies after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected its emergency request in the antitrust battle with Epic Games.

The court denied Apple’s request to stay enforcement of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, finding Apple in contempt.

Apple must comply with changes allowing developers to bypass in-app purchases immediately.

Epic Games accused Apple of monopolistic practices, leading to legal momentum after Apple’s setback.

Investors may see a revenue shift as App Store commissions are a significant part of Apple’s earnings growth.
