Apple indicated the possible investigation of criminal contempt

The American boycott judge found that Apple violated a judicial order in a case that led to epic games – and that the best executive of the Apple “explicit lie” company under the department.

The Apple company was supposed to prevent Apple from anti -competition behavior and pricing, which leads to the opening of the application store to external payment options.

Judge IV Gonzalez Rogers said she was referring the issue to the American lawyer for the northern region of California to investigate whether a criminal contempt was appropriate.

Apple responded late on Wednesday.

“We are strongly disagreeing with the decision. We will adhere to the court and we will demand,” said Apple spokesman.

On Wednesday’s ruling indicates the issue of 2021 presented by the Epic Games, the Fortnite maker, one of the most popular games in the world, which has argued that payment options from the third party should be available to customers.

He stabbed up to 30 % of Apple from purchases-he argued that the application store was monopolistic.

In its ruling in 2021, Judge Gonzalez Rogers stated that Apple is no longer able to ban developers who are connected to their purchase mechanisms.

In addition to purchasing the game, another example of how this is a movie broadcasting service. The ability to inform customers by subscribing to its website, without using the Apple purchase mechanism within the application.

In an issue of contempt issued on Wednesday, Judge Gonzalez Rogers found that Apple continued to interfere in competition with attempts the court stated, “with which it will not be tolerated.”

Judge Gonzalez Rogers added that the company’s internal documents it reviewed showed Apple violating a judicial order.

“Apple knew exactly what she was doing, and at every turn she chose the most competitive option,” the documents wrote.

She said that CEO Tim Cook ignored Philip Schiller urged the compliance of apples with the irritable matter and allowed financial manager Luca Maestri to persuade him not to do so.

“She chose a bad Cook,” she wrote.

She also said that Apple Vice President Alex Roman was “an explicit lie under the oath.”

The judge wrote that one of the examples of Apple’s attempts to evade a judicial order included a decision to impose fees on a 27 % committee on the purchases outside the application. Where she had not shipped anything before.

She said that the company also imposed new barriers and requirements to discourage customers with the use of competing purchase platforms.

In a post on X, the founder of the Epic Games and CEO Tim Sweeney said that epic games will return to Fortnite to the iOS app in the United States next week and the olive branch offered to its opponent for a long time.

“EPIC puts a suggestion of peace: If Apple extends the free and friction -free framework around the world, we will return” Fortnite “to the application store around the world and drop the current and future litigation on this topic.”

In another post, he wrote: “There are no fees for web transactions. The game has ended for the Apple tax. Unwanted fees from Apple 15-30 % are now as dead here in the United States of America as it is in Europe under the Digital Market Law.
