Apple violated a court order requiring it to open up the App Store to third-
party payment options and must stop charging commissions on purchases outside
its software marketplace, a federal judge said in a blistering ruling that
referred the company to prosecutors for a possible criminal probe. From a
report: U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers sided Wednesday with
"Fortnite" maker Epic Games over its allegation that the iPhone maker failed
to comply with an order she issued in 2021 after finding the company engaged
in anticompetitive conduct in violation of California law. Gonzalez Rogers
also referred the case to federal prosecutors to investigate whether Apple
committed criminal contempt of court for flouting her 2021 ruling. The U.S.
attorney's office in San Francisco declined to comment. The changes the
company must now make could put a sizable dent in the double-digit billions
of dollars in revenue the App Store generates each year.
