Rave is arguing that Apple sherlocked its streaming app and then blocked it from the App Store. This isn’t what happened and it is sidestepping serious allegations against Rave, but that is the case that was brought in New Jersey in May 2026.
Now according to Bloomberg, Judge William J. Martini has agreed to Apple’s request for the case to be tried in the Northern District of California instead.
