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.

            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

                  I don’t know how you can not see enforcement. It’s in the headline of the article.

                    “Judge in Epic v. Apple bans Apple from charging commission on purchases made outside App Store”

                    That is what the judge ordered, who is forcing Apple to comply? forcing them to follow the ruling is the definition of “enforcement”, not the ruling itself

                    And the reason I am second guessing is that the court had already ruled against Apple and they just ignored that and doubled down on the bad behaviour
