Epic Games claims victory as Apple sanctioned for defying court order over App Store rules<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>The latest twist in the long-running legal fight between Apple and Epic Games has delivered a major blow to the company’s App Store operations. In a ruling issued Tuesday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found Apple in willful violation of
a 2021 injunction designed to stop the company’s anticompetitive App Store practices.</p>
<p>According to
the 80-page order, Apple “thwarted the injunction’s goals” by imposing new fees and obstacles that continued to stifle competition, despite clear instructions from the court. The judge didn’t just sanction Apple — she referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for possible criminal contempt proceedings.</p>
