In response, Apple kicked Epic off its App Store.<blockquote>Epic在8月份打破了苹果的规则，在《堡垒之夜》中推出了自己的应用内支付系统，以规避苹果的佣金。作为回应，苹果将 Epic 从其应用商店下架。</blockquote>Epic sued Apple, alleging the iPhone maker is abusing its power over app developers with App Store review rules and payment requirements that hurt competition in the software market. Epic also launched an aggressivepublic relations campaignto call attention to its allegations just as Apple’s practices have come under scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators in the United States and elsewhere.<blockquote>Epic起诉苹果，指控这家iPhone制造商滥用其对应用开发者的权力，通过应用商店审查规则和支付要求损害了软件市场的竞争。就在苹果的行为受到美国和其他地方立法者和监管机构的审查之际，Epic 还发起了一场积极的公关活动，以看涨期权人们对其指控的关注。</blockquote>In opening arguments, Epic attorney Katherine Forrest of Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore laid out the gaming company's argument that Apple has \"brick by brick\" built its App Store into a \"walled garden\" meant to extract fees from developers who want to access Apple's 1 billion iPhone users. Forrest argued that Apple has locked those users into its ecosystem with apps like iMessage, which lets Apple users send messages to other devices but has limited functionality when communicating with Android users.<blockquote>在开场陈述中，Cravath，Swaine&amp;Moore的史诗律师Katherine Forrest阐述了这家游戏公司的论点，即苹果已经“一砖一瓦”地将其应用商店建成了一个“围墙花园”，旨在向想要访问苹果10亿iPhone用户的开发者收取费用。Forrest认为，苹果通过iMessage等应用程序将这些用户锁定在其生态系统中，iMessage允许苹果用户向其他设备发送信息，但在与Android用户交流时功能有限。</blockquote>“The most prevalent flower in the walled garden is the Venus fly trap,” Forrest argued before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.<blockquote>“福里斯特在法官伊冯娜-冈萨雷斯-罗杰斯（Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers）面前辩称：”围墙花园里最常见的花是维纳斯捕蝇草。</blockquote>Apple has countered Epic's allegations by arguing its App Store rules have made consumers feel safe and secure in opening up their wallets to unknown developers, helping create a massive market from which all developers have benefited. Apple argues that Epic intentionally broke its contracts with Apple because the game maker wanted a free ride on the iPhone maker's platform.<blockquote>苹果反驳了Epic的指控，认为其App Store规则让消费者在向不知名的开发者开放钱包时感到安全可靠，有助于创造一个所有开发者都从中受益的巨大市场。苹果认为，Epic故意违反了与苹果的合同，因为这家游戏制造商希望在iPhone制造商的平台上搭便车。</blockquote>In opening arguments for Apple, attorney Karen Dunn of Paul, Weiss noted Epic is asking the judge to force Apple to let third-party software be installed on its phones outside the App Store, similar to the \"side loading\" the Android operating system already allows.<blockquote>Paul，Weiss的律师Karen Dunn在苹果的开场辩论中指出，Epic要求法官迫使苹果允许第三方软件安装在App Store之外的手机上安装，类似于Android操作系统已经允许的“侧面加载”。</blockquote>“Epic is asking for government intervention to take away a choice that consumers currently have,” Dunn told the court.<blockquote>“邓恩对法庭说：”Epic 要求政府干预，剥夺消费者目前的选择。</blockquote>The courtroom was closed to the public, but in the audience as a \"corporate witness\" for each side were Epic's Sweeney and Phil Schiller, Apple's App Store chief.<blockquote>法庭不对公众开放，但作为双方“企业证人”的是Epic的斯威尼和苹果应用商店负责人菲尔·席勒。</blockquote>During his testimony, Sweeney said Epic does pay commissions to other platform owners such as Sony Group Corp's(6758.T)PlayStation and Microsoft Corp's(MSFT.O)Xbox but explained that those hardware makers use fees from developers to subsidize the further development of their hardware.<blockquote>斯威尼在证词中表示，Epic 确实向索尼集团 (6758.T)PlayStation 和微软 (MSFT.O)Xbox 等其他平台所有者支付佣金，但他解释说，这些硬件制造商使用开发商的费用来补贴其硬件的进一步开发。</blockquote>Judge Gonzalez Rogers also asked her first direct questions of the trial during Sweeney's testimony, inquiring whether Apple's original iPhones from 2007 and 2008 were sophisticated enough to run Epic's video games. Sweeney said they were not.<blockquote>在斯威尼的证词中，冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯法官还向她提出了审判中的第一个直接问题，询问苹果2007年和2008年的原始iPhone是否足够复杂，可以运行Epic的视频游戏。斯威尼说他们不是。</blockquote>“So Apple did have to do something to the iPhone itself in order for it to be sophisticated enough to play your software? How is that any different than consoles?” she asked.<blockquote>“所以苹果必须对 iPhone 本身做些什么，才能让它变得足够先进，可以运行你的软件？这和游戏机有什么不同？”她问。</blockquote>Sweeney responded that the hardware development was similar, but the two devices had different business models.<blockquote>Sweeney回应称，硬件开发类似，但两款设备的商业模式不同。</blockquote>Sweeney and Schiller are expected to attend the entire trial, which will also feature in-person testimony from Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook and other senior executivesat both firms.<blockquote>斯威尼和席勒预计将出席整个审判，苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克和两家公司的其他高级管理人员还将亲自作证。</blockquote>Epic is not seeking monetary damages but is asking the court to hand down orders that would end many of Apple’s practices.<blockquote>Epic 并不寻求金钱赔偿，但要求法院下达命令，终止苹果的许多做法。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
