Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple VP of Finance Alex Roman allegedly lied to the court to maintain the belief that evidence of internal discussions about a 27% commission fee on some purchases linked to the App Store was real. The company had presented evidence of internal discussions that were tailor-made for litigation instead of what actually happened. Apple has also been accused of other deceptive practices. The accusations may result in punishment for Apple and Roman - the case has been referred to US attorneys, who will investigate whether to pursue criminal contempt proceedings.
