A District Court found that Apple willfully violated the court order in Epic Games v. Apple suit. "Fortnite" will return to the U.S. iOS App Store.

Apple faces a possible criminal contempt probe after a U.S. judge said it violated an order to open its lucrative App Store to more competition and misled the court. Here is a look at how Apple got here and what comes next in the blockbuster lawsuit brought by "Fortnite" maker Epic Games.

Apple judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ruled that, effective immediately, Apple can no longer take a cut from purchases made outside apps and has blocked the tech giant from restricting how developers can point people to third-party payment options.
