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.

A US court has found Apple violated its orders in the Epic Games case, which has been ongoing since August 2020. It will see the return of Fortnite to iOS for the first time in over four years.

A California judge ruled that Apple violated its 2021 injunction targeting anti-steering App Store rules in the Epic Games lawsuit.
