The\nInjunction prevented Apple from stopping developers from “including in their apps and their\nmetadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing\nmechanisms, in addition to” IAP. Apple resorts to dictionaries (see Dkt. No. 1324 at 15–16) to\nargue that it no longer categorically prohibits developers from using buttons or other calls to\naction.66 While perhaps literally true, the gamesmanship abounds as the business documents\nreveal the true motive (and do not rely on dictionaries).\nFor button styles, Apple limits developers to what Apple calls the “plain” button style—\nessentially just a hyperlink—because Apple does not want the developers to use the more effective\n“button.” A more effective button would increase competition. (See Feb. 2025 Tr. 1212:9–\n1213:22 (Schiller).) Similarly, Apple limits calls to action to five, narrowly cabined templates.\n(See CX-3.5.) Nowhere does the Court authorize those limitations. At a minimum, the Court\nneed not decide whether these restrictions alone violate the Injunction, because Apple has violated\nthe central mandate of this Court’s orders: that Apple not foreclose competitive alternatives to\nIAP.67",
