APPLE BUSTED: JUDGE REFERS TECH GIANT FOR CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OVER FORTNITE BLOCK

A federal judge just torched Apple for “willfully violating” a 2021 court order designed to open iOS to alternate payment systems.

The court found Apple guilty of deliberately creating barriers to competition—and lying about it.

The ruling even refers Apple to the DOJ for possible criminal contempt.

Epic’s comeback could reshape iOS commerce.

Apple now faces a reckoning.
