Or, you know, zero hours.
Apple later offereda concession of four hours.
According to Judge Thomas S. Hixon, however, this dispute is less than meets the eye.
Hence, Hixons ruling that Cook should be deposed for seven hours.
Another blow is Judge Hixon denied Apples request to subpoena internal documents from Samsung.
That led to Applebooting Fortnitefrom the App Store.
In turn, that led toa spicy videofrom Epic portraying Apple as a dystopian dictator.
Which again, led to Appleterminating Epic Games App Store developer account.
The drama has died down a bit, as the trial isnt set to kick off until May.
Correction, 02/01/2021, 7:30pm: A previous version of this article said the trial was beginning in July.
