Apple Violated Antitrust Ruling, Federal Judge Finds

  • On April 30, 2025, a federal judge in Oakland, California, determined that Apple had intentionally breached a 2021 court injunction related to its App Store practices.
  • The violation followed Apple's refusal to comply with court orders aimed at preventing its anticompetitive App Store practices, despite clear instructions and an earlier 2021 order.
  • The court highlighted Apple’s use of fees, restrictive policies, and misleading scare screens designed to deter users, plus internal documents and false testimony showing intentional anticompetitive behavior.
  • Judge Rogers stated Apple imposed a 27% commission on off-App Store purchases and called Apple’s conduct a "blatant attempt to sidestep the court's authority" that "will not be tolerated."
  • The judge sanctioned Apple, referred the company and its Finance VP Alex Roman for possible criminal contempt, and ordered Apple to stop charging commissions on external purchases immediately.
