In a recent ruling, District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized Apple for its inadequate response to a previous antitrust case. Although Apple initially won against Epic Games, the court mandated it allow developers to inform users of alternative purchasing options. Instead of complying, Apple implemented measures to deter users from using external purchase options and attempted to maintain its high commission rates. Judge Rogers highlighted this behavior as willful disobedience and emphasized the need for the company to adhere to lawful practices rather than circumvent them.
After trial, the Court found that Apple's 30 percent commission allowed it to reap supracompetitive operating margins and was not tied to the value of its intellectual property.
District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers issued a scathing ruling, calling out Apple's willful disobedience of the injunction, highlighting their attempts to avoid compliance.
