Apple won a last-minute legal battle on Wednesday after a US District Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed to delay a judge's order to make changes to the way app developers accept payments in Apple's App Store.
In September, a U.S. judge ordered Apple to change its App Store rules, which ban developers from including links in buttons to outside payment systems rather than using Apple's in-app payments that charge a commission on sales. The ruling was set to go into effect at 12:01 AM PT on Thursday.
