    It would be judicial corruption, not political corruption, if it existed. We are talking about judges and courts, not politicians.

    "Thousands of apps on the App Store approved by Apple accept direct payments, including commonly used apps like Amazon, Grubhub, Nike SNKRS, Best Buy, DoorDash, Fandango, McDonald's, Uber, Lyft, and StubHub. We think all developers should be free to support direct payments in all apps."

    While it may be true that the companies mentioned above don't have to pay the 30 percent transaction fee, there's an important distinction to be made. Companies like DoorDash, McDonald's, Uber, and Best Buy provide users with physical goods.

    Epic, on the other hand, sells digital goods.
    I pay my Xfinity internet bill through their app on my iPhone. I don't see anything different between that and what Epic is doing. Xfinity is not providing me with any physical goods. I'm sure Xfinity doesn't pay Apply the 30% commission I pay through their iPhone app. 
    How do you know?
    It's common sense and simple math. Xfinity doesn't have the profit margin to pay Apple 30% of every internet/phone/cable/homes security service bill that is paid through their iPhone app. If Apple required that, Xfinity simply wouldn't allow the feature.

    It would be nice if it works out, but Zagg has in the past, either shown devices at CES that never launch or have a launch that fails.
