US Supreme Court snubs Epic Games legal battle with Apple

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an antitrust challenge by Epic Games, maker of the popular video game "Fortnite," to the way Apple runs its lucrative App Store, handing the software company a setback in its lengthy legal battle against the iPhone maker.

The justices also decided not to hear Apple's appeal of the same decision, which barred certain App Store rules.
