( October 9, 2026, 18:00 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: In a joint status report, Epic Games told a California federal judge that Apple failed to produce all non-privileged documents relating to the decision-making process that led to the proposal in its proffer for commissions on linked-out purchases by Aug. 24. "Nearly two months after its production deadline, Apple has scarcely produced any documents," Epic said. Instead, the smartphone manufacturer has "dragged out supposed 'negotiations' over its willingness to comply with its Court-ordered discovery obligations," Epic added.
