SAN FRANCISCO: Fortnite maker Epic Games and Apple clashed in court Monday at the opening of a blockbuster trial on the iPhone maker’s App Store with big implications for the world of mobile tech, trading barbs over alleged monopolistic actions and what is best for consumers.

“Apple did not create a secure and integrated ecosystem to keep people out, it did that so it could invite developers in — without compromising the privacy, reliability and quality consumers wanted,” Dunn said. Asked why he waited until now to file suit, he said, “It took me a very long time to come to the realisation of all the negative impacts of Apple policies.”
