In a ruling issued Tuesday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found Apple in willful violation of a 2021 injunction (https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/10/apple-vs-epic-verdict/) designed to stop the company’s anticompetitive App Store practices.</p> <p>According to the 80-page order (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.1508.0_2.pdf), 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> <a data-layer-pagetype="post" data-layer-postcategory="app-store,apple,epic-games,fortnite" data-layer-viewtype="unknown" data-post-id="999427" href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/04/30/epic-games-claims-victory-as-apple-sanctioned-for-defying-court-order-over-app-store-rules/#more-999427" class="more-link">more…[/url] Source: Epic Games claims victory as Apple sanctioned for defying court order over App Store rules (https://9to5mac.com/2025/04/30/epic-games-claims-victory-as-apple-sanctioned-for-defying-court-order-over-app-store-rules/) |
