Welcome to the latest episode of Apple v. Everyone Who Disagrees With Them – this time, with a surprise boss fight twist. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers just handed Apple a court order so brutal, even Kratos would flinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a ruling hotter than Tim Cook’s stock portfolio, Gonzalez Rogers banned Apple from collecting any fees on purchases made outside the App Store.<\/strong> That’s right – no more 27% “we-just-felt-like-it” fees if a user buys something outside the walled garden of Cupertino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Gross Miscalculation,” Said the Judge, Probably While Dropping Her Gavel Like Thor’s Hammer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember that original 2021 ruling? Yeah, the one where Apple was supposed to stop acting like a digital toll booth? Turns out Apple just\u2026 didn’t. They “willfully” ignored the court’s order – and now they’re in deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That Apple thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation,” said Judge Gonzalez Rogers, practically roasting them in legalese.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and she’s sending the case to the U.S. Attorney to consider criminal contempt charges. Which is basically the courtroom equivalent of saying, “Hold my gavel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
