The notice of appeal was submitted on Monday, just days after a federal judge issued a scathing decision siding with [[Companies/Epic Games|Epic Games]] in their ongoing legal battle.<br /> <br /> The dispute stems from the high-profile Epic v. Apple case that began in 2021. At the time, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers issued an injunction prohibiting Apple from engaging in anti-steering practices—rules that had prevented developers from informing users about alternative payment methods outside of Apple’s in-app purchasing system.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;More:&#039;&#039;&#039;[[News/Blast Rivals Winners Crowned|Blast Rivals Winners Crowned]]<br /> <br /> Epic reignited the case last year, alleging that Apple had failed to comply with the court’s original order. In her latest ruling, Judge Rogers agreed, finding that Apple violated the injunction. Her decision delivered a sharp rebuke of the company’s conduct during the litigation process.<br /> <br /> The judge found that Apple’s Vice President of Finance, Alex Roman, had “outright lied under oath” and referred the matter to federal prosecutors for possible criminal contempt charges. Judge Rogers also sanctioned Apple for what she called a “misuse of attorney-client privilege designations to delay proceedings.”<br /> <br /> “The ruling also referred Apple and vice president of finance Alex Roman to the local U.S. attorney for possible investigation,” the court documents state, escalating the legal stakes for the tech giant.<br /> }}</div>
