Fortnite Beat Apple In Court
Apple must accommodate out-of-app purchase links on iOS and may face criminal contempt charges for violating court order.
The 2021 case of Epic Games v. Apple ended with a slap on the wrist—Apple was ordered, in somewhat loose terms, to stop restricting external purchase links in iPhone apps. Now, the judge responsible for the 2021 ruling says that Apple has willfully violated its injunction. The company must now take specific, court-ordered actions that will severly damage its App Store model.
