After years of back-and-forth battling between Fortnite publisher Epic Games and Apple, the gaming company filed a writ of certiorari asking the US Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling in their antitrust case. Epic has argued that Apple unfairly monopolizes the mobile app space with iOS and its in-app purchasing system, thereby making billions on commissions.
Epic is asking the Supreme Court to review its case by way of clarifying points of antitrust law that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals relied on in making its ruling in April.
The companies’ beef dates back to the end of the original antitrust trial in 2021, when Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers decided on a compromise ruling that neither side fully appreciated.

Logitech’s new racing cockpit is a $299 foldable chair
Logitech has launched a new $299 cockpit for racing simulators that wouldn’t look too out of place at a backyard BBQ. The accessories maker has teamed up with gaming seat company Playseat to release the Playseat Challenge X. It’s equipped with all the right parts to support your gaming wheel, but when it’s not in use, it’s like any other foldable chair that you can stow away. As The Verge notes, it does look almost identical to Playseat’s non-Logitech-branded Challenge racing cockpit, which is $70 cheaper. This version, however, already comes with a tilting pedal bracket and a gearshift mount. While the chair doesn’t include the actual accessories needed to play racing sims, it is compatible with the company’s G wheels and the driving force shifters that support them. The Verge says it should work with other brand’s wheels, shifters and pedals, as well, assuming they’re compatible with the mounts on the chair.LogitechSpeaking of the chair itself, it uses a breathable material that can keep you cool in the heat. You can easily adjust it and find the most comfortable one among its six positions, and you can move the pedals further if you’re tall and need the leg room. The maximum user height it can accommodate is around 7 feet, while the maximum user weight it can support is 359 pounds. It could be a good option if you’re looking for a simpler, relatively affordable chair for your racing games, and you can get it now from Amazon.
