Epic Games v. Apple judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers just ruled that, effective immediately, Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside apps and blocks the company from restricting how developers can point users to where they can make purchases outside of apps.

. .

The judge also referred the case to the US attorney to review it for possible criminal contempt proceedings.

    To be clear, I’m not defending anyone here…

    Apple likely delayed it multiple times.

      They delayed the enforcement of a ruling? I don’t think even they have that power.

          That doesn’t delay the enforcement of the ruling.

                No what I am asking you is what evidence of enforcement do you see anywhere here?

                Apple was ordered by the courts to do something, they blatantly ignored it and doubled down. At no point it seems the courts were enforcing their initial ruling. It took the defendants to bring this back to court again. What’s stopping Apple from not doing anything and ignoring the courts again?

                  The evidence I see is the article linked in the OP.

                  It took the defendants to bring this back to court

                  If that happened, it’s absent from the article in the OP.

                    There is clearly NO enforcement in there… maybe we think “enforcement” are different things here
