She criticized Tim Cook, Apple\u2019s chief executive, and accused other executives at the company of lying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In her earlier ruling, Judge Gonzales Rogers ordered Apple to allow apps to provide users with external links to pay developers directly for services. The apps could then avoid the 30 percent commission that Apple charges in its App Store and potentially charge less for services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, Judge Gonzalez Rogers said on Wednesday, Apple created a new system that forced apps with external sales to pay a 27 percent commission to the company. Apple also created pop-up screens that discouraged customers from paying elsewhere, telling them that payments outside the App Store may not be secure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cApple sought to maintain a revenue stream worth billions in direct defiance of this court\u2019s injunction,\u201d Judge Gonzalez Rogers wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In response, she said Apple could no longer take commissions from sales outside the App Store. She also restricted the company from writing rules that would prevent developers from creating buttons or links to pay outside the store and said it could not create messages to discourage users from making purchases. In addition, Judge Gonzalez Rogers asked the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California to investigate the company for criminal contempt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ruling \u2014 a major victory for Epic and a stinging defeat for Apple \u2014 has the potential to change the app economy by increasing the money that developers collect while reducing the fees that flow to Apple. That strikes at one of Apple\u2019s major businesses, with its App Store long the most prominent destination for people to download mobile games, productivity tools and other programs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s going to be a lot of latitude for developers to get better deals and for consumers to get better deals,\u201d said Tim Sweeney, Epic\u2019s chief executive. \u201cThis is a wonderful, wonderful day for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Apple could appeal the decision. The company did not respond to requests for comment. Its shares sank 1.5 percent in after-hours trading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Epic, the maker of the game Fortnite, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/08\/13\/technology\/apple-fortnite-ban.html\" title=\"\">brought the antitrust lawsuit<\/a> against Apple in 2020. In the suit, Epic accused Apple of forcing app makers to use its payment system in exchange for access to the App Store, which is the only way to distribute apps on iPhones. The rules allowed Apple to collect as much as a 30 percent commission on many transactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The App Store makes up a large portion of the nearly $100 billion in annual services revenue that Apple collects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a ruling two years later, Judge Gonzalez Rogers stopped short of declaring that Apple had a monopoly in the market of mobile games, as Epic had argued. That meant Apple avoided the worst possible outcome of the case. But she found that the company had violated California laws against unfair competition by preventing developers from offering users alternative ways to pay for apps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last year, Epic complained to the court that Apple wasn\u2019t complying with the ruling because it had created a new set of fees and rules for developers. The judge ordered Apple to provide the documents explaining how it had come up with its new system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Apple\u2019s documents showed that it tried to discourage alternative payments and keep as much of its traditional 30 percent commission as possible. At a July 2023 meeting, Phil Schiller, who oversees the App Store, advocated that Apple take no commission, but Luca Maestri, Apple\u2019s finance chief at the time, championed a fee of 27 percent. Mr. Cook sided with Mr. Maestri, according to the documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Cook also asked that when people clicked on links to pay for apps outside the App Store they be shown a \u201cscare\u201d screen saying \u201cthat Apple\u2019s privacy and security standards do not apply to purchases made on the web.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cApple knew exactly what it was doing and at every turn chose the most anticompetitive option,\u201d Judge Gonzalez Rogers said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She said Apple executives had \u201coutright lied under oath\u201d and added, \u201cCook chose poorly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
