Sure- though there was just an appeal hearing in November. The judge also warned that Apple uses anticompetitive behavior and is on the road to becoming a monopoly.

> While Apple is not considered a monopoly and did not engage in antitrust behavior on nine of ten counts, Apple’s conduct in enforcing anti-steering restrictions is anticompetitive.

> A coalition of 35 states, Microsoft, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and several other groups filed amicus briefs in support of Epic's position, arguing that Apple held a monopoly and thus that Epic should prevail in its lawsuit.

Amicus briefs aren’t worth diddly when they’re factually incorrect.

The judge also did not suggest Apple was on the road to monopoly. She correctly pointed out one anticompetitive practice and forced Apple to change that policy. Which they have.
