The US Judge deliberately violated her ban on an epic game, and Apple’s executives found “obvious lie.”
The prohibition order had to block apologies from semi -qualifications and prices to open the App Store to external payment options.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said the issue to a lawyer in northern California that he is investigating the appropriate crime disruption.
Apple responded late on Wednesday.
“We do not strongly agree with this decision,” said Apple.
The decision of Wednesday is the 2021 case brought by EPIC Games, a manufacturer of Fortnite, one of the most popular games in the world, which claims that a third -party payment option should be available to customers.
Apple has challenged up to 30%of the purchase and insisted that the App Store is exclusive.
In the 2021 ruling, Judge Gonzalez Rogers said that Apple can no longer prohibit developers who are connected to their purchase mechanisms.
Another example of how it works, as well as a game purchase is a movie streaming service that allows customers to subscribe to their own website without using Apple’s in -app purchase mechanism.
Judge Gonzalez Rogers found that Apple continued to compete with the court that the court mentioned that it would not be tolerated.
Judge Gonzalez Rogers added that Apple deliberately violated the ban in the internal company’s document.
The document said, “Apple knew exactly what it was doing and chose an option with the most reactions every time.”
She said Tim Cook’s CEO called Philip Schiller, calling Apple to comply with the ban and preventing CFO Luca Maestri from persuading him.
“Cook chose poorly,” she wrote.
She also said that Apple’s vice president of finance Alex Roman said, “I lied under oath.”
The judge wrote that an example of an attempt to avoid the prohibition order included a decision to claim 27%off app purchase committee. Where nothing before.
The company also imposed new barriers and requirements that prevent customers from using their competitive purchase platforms, she said.
Tim Sweeney, the founder and CEO of EPIC Games, said in X’s post that Epic Games will return to the US iOS App Store next week and provide long rivals for long rivals.
Sweeney said, “EPIC presents a peace proposal, and if Apple expands the framework without apology without a court friction, it will send ‘Fortnite’ to App Store around the world and file a lawsuit against the topic of the present and future lawsuits.
In another post he wrote: “There is no fee for web transactions. Game for Apple Taxes. Apple’s 15-30% junk fees are now died in the United States in the United States, as in Europe under the digital market law.
