Apple Acknowledges Court and Regulatory Rulings Force App Store Commission Changes
Apple acknowledges that recent court rulings and regulatory changes are forcing it to loosen App Store control, increasing pressure on its $100B+ services business. Antitrust actions in the US and Europe require alternative payment methods and sometimes alternative app distribution. A US court injunction won by Epic Games compelled Apple to allow developers to direct users to paid options outside the App Store. App Store commission revenue is now slowing in some markets.
