Judge Says Apple Defied Court Order in Epic Games Case. A U.S. district judge has ruled that Apple willfully violated a court order stemming from its legal battle with Epic Games and accused a senior Apple executive of lying under oath. The injunction, issued in 2021, barred Apple from blocking developers from linking to outside payment options. But Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said Apple continued anti-competitive practices and referred the case to federal prosecutors for possible criminal contempt. The ruling comes from Epic’s lawsuit challenging Apple’s 30% App Store commission, calling it monopolistic. Despite Apple’s denial and plans to appeal, the court found internal documents showed the company knowingly broke the rules.
