Apple CEO Tim Cook will testify this week in antitrust suit brought by Fortnight maker Epic Games to refute claim the App Store is a monopoly crushing competition with 30% commissions

Apple CEO Tim Cook is gearing up to testify this week against antitrust allegations brought by Fortnite-maker Epic Games, which accused the tech giant of being a 'Venus fly trap' and a price-gouging monopoly.

Cook will serve as the star witness for the defense at the federal trial in Oakland, California, which could decide the future of Apple's fast-growing App Store.

The CEO - who until now stayed quiet about trial - has spent hours practicing for his turn on the stand with help from former prosecutors hand-picked by his legal team, according to the Wall Street Journal.

He is expected to refute claims of anti-competitive and monopolistic behavior by Apple while reinforcing its rosy portrait of the App Store - which raked in almost $54billion in 2020 - as an invaluable feature beloved by users and developers alike.

A specific date for Cook's testimony has not been released but he is expected to be on the stand for a total of 100 minutes toward the end of this week and or early next week.

Also slated to testify in Apple's defense are its former marketing chief, Phil Schiller, now a company fellow, and its head of software, Craig Federighi.

The trial kicked off on May 3 with opening arguments from Epic Games, which attacked the App Store as a breakthrough idea that has morphed into an instrument of financial exploitation that illegally locks out competition.

Epic attorney Katherine Forrest accused Apple of turning its online marketplace into a monopoly 'walled garden' that lures in developers and users before squeezing money out of them.

Apple essentially planted a 'flower in the walled garden (that) was turned into a Venus fly trap,' she argued in her opening statements.

'The evidence will show unambiguously that Apple is a monopoly,' Forrest went on to claim.
