In a new filing in its long-running legal dispute with Epic Games, Apple has proposed a structure that would allow it to collect fees on digital purchases made via external links that don’t use the company’s in-app purchase system. Epic has already responded, saying that Apple’s request is “far outside of the bounds” of the court’s guidance.
Right now, Apple cannot take a commission on external purchases after California district court judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in April 2025 that found the company “willfully” didn’t comply with her 2021 Epic Games v. Apple injunction. However, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel said that Apple …

<h2>Former presidential aide, Okoi Obono-Obla, has reacted to the impeachment travails of the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, saying the Office of Deputy Governor in Nigeria should be abolished.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reported that the <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/04/04/impeachment-shaibu-leaked-govt-secret-committed-perjury-assembly-tells-panel/">Edo State House of Assembly had accused Shaibu of leaking government secrets</a> and committing perjury.</p>
<p>The Assembly noted that the allegations against Shaibu were impeachable offences.</p>
<p>Reacting, Obono-Obla expressed concern for Shaibu and stressed that the office of the Deputy Governor requires amendment or abolishment.</p>
<p>According to him, to reduce the cost of governance, the Speaker of State Houses of Assembly should succeed or stand in for governors in the event of death, resignation or removal from office.</p>
<p>He explained that since the advent of democratic civil rule in the country, deputy governors have been the targets of imperialistic and despotic governors' actions.</p>
<p>Obono-Obla noted that impeachment is a serious matter and warned that it must not be used to blackmail deputy governors.</p>
<p>He said, <em>"I feel sorry for the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Honourable Philip Shuiabu.</em></p>
<p><em>"I think the position of Deputy Governor should be abolished by the Constitution. The Speaker of the State House of Assembly should succeed any State Governor.</em></p>
<p><em>"This would require a constitutional amendment or alteration abolishing the position of Deputy Governor."</em></p>
<p><em>"As a result, impeachment procedure is always dangling on the hands of deputy governors like the sword of damocles."</em></p>
