It's hard to believe that only seven months have passed since Apple launched it Fortnite for the App Store and Epic Games has started its antitrust trap, but you will not have to wait long before the two sides legally sue in court.
In a legal filing Friday afternoon, Apple revealed that CEO Tim Cook, SVP Craig Federighi and former head of marketing and current App Store manager Phil Schiller plan to testify live and in person in the auditorium, among many other test rooms. .
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney and VP Mark Rein should also be there, as well as Facebook's VP, one of its VPs Microsoft for Xbox business development and several executives from both sides.
Schiller is expected to put in more than 11 hours of testing, which makes sense. Not only was he responsible for the App Store at the heart of the case, but some of the emails and emails of his subordinates have come under scrutiny, both in this case and in a major tech antitrust hearing last year that ended with the House Judiciary Committee concluding that “Apple exercises monopoly power in the mobile app store market ".
