Tap title to read story
A federal judge ordered Apple to stop collecting commissions on some app sales, concluding a five-year antitrust case brought by Epic Games. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized Apple for defying a previous ruling that allowed apps to offer external payment links, avoiding Apple's 30% commission. Apple's attempt to circumvent the ruling by implementing a 27% commission and discouraging users from external payments prompted the judge's stronger action.
