Apple has updated its App Store rules in the US to allow apps to link users to their own websites for digital purchases. This follows a US court ruling in favor of Epic Games, which ordered Apple not to prohibit apps from including features that redirect users to their own websites. The ruling means Apple must stop showing "scare screens" and remove guidelines around how these screens and links should contain certain language. Apple is not happy with the ruling and will comply with the court's order and appeal.
