Despite expensive legal battles and regulatory pressure, Apple’s and Google’s mobile app stores are mostly unchanged. This week, Apple introduced a new fee on developers to protect its business.
What can $83 million in legal defense fees buy? In Apple’s case, billions of dollars in annual App Store revenue that had been under threat until this week. While the iPhone maker’s costly legal battle started by developer Epic Games technically isn’t quite over, Apple looks mighty victorious after the US Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to hear Epic’s appeal of its losses.
” The revisions provide developers “a meaningful opportunity” to do business outside of Apple’s billing system “while also enabling users to make an informed choice” about where to transact, attorneys for the company say in a court filing. The arrangement is similar to how Apple began allowing alternative purchase options—with a fee—in the Netherlands and South Korea to address government pushback.
