Apple is being forced to detail fees it wants to charge for outbound links in its continuing legal fight with Epic, and now it's only got 24 hours to file them.\n\nThe ever-ongoing legal battle between Apple and Epic Games over what Apple should charge apps within the App Store has hit a snag for the iPhone maker. In the current phase, the two are fighting in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California over a new fee proposal.\n\nAccording to X posts by Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney on Tuesday, Apple attempted to delay a filing of proposed fees to the court. To Sweeney's glee, that stay was denied.

As a consequence, Apple's legal team now has just 24 hours to file the proposal with the court. After that Epic will have 60 days to analyze the proposal and make its own filing with the court.\n\nSweeney continued with a second post, asking if Apple will "honestly document their costs for human reviewer time and seek to recoup them?" Alternately, he proposes Apple may "fabricate outlandish new notions of cost previously unknown to mankind." As it stands, Epic and commentators have another 24-hour wait before finding that out.
