Epic accused Google in a 2020 lawsuit of monopolizing how consumers access apps on Android devices and how they pay for transactions within apps.

Lawyers for Alphabet's Google and "Fortnite" maker Epic Games squared off before a U.S. appeals court in California on Monday, as Google tries to undo a jury verdict and a judge's order forcing it to revamp its app store.

The Galaxy Store offers exclusive apps and benefits only available to Galaxy device users. Samsung's app hub may have promos for streaming services like Peacock offering three months free. Samsung Galaxy users get perks like $200 free from the Chime app,

Epic Games, on the other hand, is steadfast. It has urged the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the original verdict, accusing Google of running a "years-long strategy to suppress competition among app stores and payment solutions."

Google went to appeals court Monday in an attempt to convince a three-judge panel to overturn a jury’s verdict declaring its app store for Android smartphones as an illegal monopoly and block the penalties imposed by a federal judge to stop the misbehavior.

Google has filed an appeal over a jury verdict that ruled its Android app store to be a monopoly, seeking to block penalties imposed by a federal judge.

Google asked a federal appeals court Monday to throw out a federal judge’s ruling stemming from the 2023 antitrust trial where a jury found that Google’s Play Store and billing services on Android platforms constituted an illegal monopoly.
