Apple violated a court order to increase competition in its App Store by not complying with the injunction from an antitrust lawsuit filed by Epic Games.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland referred Apple to federal prosecutors for a criminal contempt investigation due to their conduct in the case.
The judge accused Apple of willfully trying to violate her ruling by collecting a commission from off-app purchases that were supposed to be exempt.
Apple disagreed with the decision, mentioned it will comply with the court's order, and intends to appeal the ruling.
