For the past week, the new iOS 14 update has been available. And many Epic Games iOS users have unknowingly deleted the game and are now unable to play Fortnite. It’s been a real shock to the system for some iOS users. This incompatibility is why Apple sometimes gets a bad reputation with online gamers and users.

Reasons Apple Removed Fortnite App in August

Apple didn’t remove the Fortnite app from its store for technical reasons. It’s purely a business and ethical decision by the phone giants. But it’s causing issues for Fortnite iOS users who love Fortnite.

The new is that Apple already removed the app back in Auguste due to an issue they had with Epic Games and their business practices. Epic Games allegedly tried to bypass the Apple payment system via its store to cut Apple out of the equation. Apple charges up to 30% commission on purchases in its digital store. And basically, Epic Games disagrees with Apple’s payment practices. Fortnite is generally free across all platforms. They make money by selling skins and other products directly in the game.

It sounds like Apple are putting their greed before the needs of their Fortnite Epic Games iOS users. It’s not uncommon for multinational companies not to care about their customers. Maybe this is why so many people are now choosing the like of Huawei over Apple and other tech giants.
