Summary
A federal judge has ruled that Apple willfully violated a prior injunction intended to enhance competition in the App Store, prompting a referral for potential criminal contempt proceedings. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized Apple's actions, describing them as deliberate efforts to maintain anticompetitive barriers, including hiding evidence and lying under oath. Apple executives, including CEO Tim Cook, were singled out for disregarding compliance advice. This ruling follows a series of antitrust fines and lawsuits, including a recent $571 million penalty from the European Commission. In a notable development, Epic Games announced plans to resubmit Fortnite on iOS following the ruling.
