Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is still far from getting everything he originally wanted from his war over iOS app store payments, but he just won a huge victory as a US court has bodied Apple for violating a 2021 injunction, going so far as to refer the iPhone maker's behavior to criminal prosecutors.
When Epic started its war with Apple, it wanted to use its own payment processing system in Fortnite on iOS, bypassing Apple's 30% fee. Epic lost that battle in a 2021 trial, but the US courts ruled in its favor on one point: Apple was told it couldn't stop iOS app developers from directing users to out-of-app websites that use their own payment processors.
