Apple must halt non-app store sales commissions, judge says

A federal judge ruled that Apple violated its own court order by keeping the App Store closed and charging commissions outside their platform, referring the case to prosecutors. Epic Games, which claimed antitrust violations, argued Apple didn't comply with a 2021 ruling after finding it engaged in anticompetitive practices. The U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment on whether this case could lead to criminal contempt charges.
