Apple Faces Accusations of Misleading Court in Epic Games Lawsuit

Recent developments in the legal confrontation between Apple and Epic Games have intensified scrutiny of Apple's conduct during the proceedings. A second judge in the case has indicated potential dishonesty in Apple's legal representations, calling the company's recent court filing "simply not believable," as reported by macmegasite.com.

Allegations were further compounded when U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Hixson criticized Apple for improperly withholding documents by misapplying attorney-client confidentiality protections last December. Reuters highlighted that this action led to an order for Apple to produce the withheld documents related to the App Store.

Adding to these concerns, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in April 2025 that Apple had violated a court order from 2021, which required changes to its App Store practices. This stemmed from an antitrust lawsuit initiated by Epic Games, which sought to allow developers to direct users to alternative payment systems. Apple had imposed a 27% fee on such transactions and discouraged non-Apple payment methods, actions that were deemed as willful non-compliance with legal mandates.
