A U.S. District Judge has issued a series of rulings against Apple, concluding that the company violated antitrust laws and court orders regarding its App Store policies. The judge found that Apple, including its executives, misled the court during the Epic Games trial, prompting discussions of possible criminal charges for contempt. As a result of these findings, the court has sided with Epic Games in their dispute, allowing for Fortnite to return to the iOS App Store and mandating that Apple ease restrictions on external purchase links. Analysts remain skeptical about the long-term implications for Apple despite these significant setbacks.
