Apple may still demand 30% app commission, regardless of payment method
The judge actually acknowledged Apple’s right to levy a charge, irrespective of the payment method.crowley said:
I understand that perspective and Apples rights. However, it’s clear that there are others concerns about market competition in play, and in order to fend off regulatory attention Apple would be well advised to not exercise those rights quite so voraciously and with such an eye on profit.BlueRock said:
How many times do you need to have it explained to you?crowley said:I would question the wisdom of the people in charge at Apple if they did this. One judgement has been made against them, others will follow if they dick about in contempt of the complaints being made about them.
The 30% commission is not just a processing fee, it is also a charge for use of the Apple IP, hosting infrastructure and running the App Store.
Apple has the right to charge for this, irrespective of the payment method used.
Free market Puritanism may keep you ideologically satisfied, but it won’t shield you from the opinion of a judge who feels like you’re making a mockery of a ruling.
