A California federal judge ruled that Apple violated a court order designed to increase competition in its App Store, stemming from an antitrust case filed by Epic Games. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated that Apple's actions, viewed as willful disregard for the court's injunction, led her to refer the company and finance executive Alex Roman to federal prosecutors. She noted Roman's misleading testimony about compliance efforts. Epic's CEO labeled the ruling a victory for developers, emphasizing the need for Apple to facilitate competition among payment methods.
Apple has been found in violation of a court order that mandates greater competition in its App Store, facing potential criminal contempt charges.
The ruling reinforces the need for Apple to allow third-party payment options, promoting fair competition in the app market.
