A federal judge ruled that Apple (AAPL) violated a court order by not opening up the App Store to third-party payment options and must stop charging commissions on purchases outside its software marketplace, Bloomberg’s Josh Sisco reports. The judge referred the case to federal prosecutors to investigate whether Apple committed criminal contempt of court for flouting her 2021 ruling. Apple must make changes that could make a significant impact to the double-digit billions of dollars in revenue the App Store generates each year. Investors in Epic Games include Tencent (TCEHY), KKR (KKR), Disney (DIS), and Sony (SONY).
