U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers had ordered Apple to lower the barriers protecting its previously exclusive payment system for in-app digital transactions and allow developers to display links to alternative options. On Wednesday she found that Apple violated a 2021 injunction that, she wrote, sought to “restrain and prohibit the iPhone maker’s anticompetitive conduct” and pricing.
“Apple’s continued attempts to interfere with competition will not be tolerated,” Gonzalez Rogers said in the ruling, which held Apple in contempt.
She ordered that Apple “no longer impede developers’ ability to communicate with users nor will they levy or impose a new commission on off-app purchases.”
Let’s see if Apple obeys a court-mandated judgement or if they try the Trump way and just ignore it.
They just need to tithe/pay indulgences to trump and his lawyers will get on it.
Tim Apple isn’t quite at “Whitehouse lawn showcase” status with Trump yet.
