The Supreme Court has announced it will not hear Apple and Epic's case until January 2027, pushing back the timeline further. Apple and Epic have been battling in lower courts, with Apple challenging the injunction violation on the basis that a violation must be based on the letter of the law, not the spirit. The court has already found Apple in violation of the order, but will now hear the case again on this basis.

The date for the hearing has been set to January 11, 2027, indicating that progress is being made, though it remains unclear whether a ruling will be issued then or delayed to another session in 2027.
