WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) – Apple on Thursday persuaded a U.S. appeals ‍court to reverse parts of a court order requiring the iPhone maker to make some ‌changes to its ‌lucrative App Store to promote greater competition, while losing its effort to overturn a sweeping injunction.

The ruling by the San ‍Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said some ‍parts of an order in April holding Apple in contempt for violating a prior decision ‍were overbroad and must be modified. Still, the appeals ‍court ‍kept in place the lower judge’s contempt ⁠finding, and declined ‌to throw out an injunction won by Fortnite maker Epic Games.
