Well Apple should not allow Epic back regardless.

Other than that, I hope that Apple adds a new app-store rule stating that apps that use in-app purchases other than Apple-Pay cannot be free to download.

I suggest a minimum purchase of $4.99 of which Apple get the usual 15%/30%. Apple needs to recoup it’s costs somewhere.

Yep, I may be wanting a stainless steel S7 to wear with my existing Apple stainless steel strap… I can’t see Apple changing strap compatibility but we will see… 

I guess another option is for Apple to just charge an extra $100 for each device sale in that territory.
That might cover it?

Maybe they should just do that globally and remove the payment restrictions globally?

I’d prefer it if they closed the app store in South Korea though, to send the message. I mean what is the timescale?
If the law has been passed then surely having it open as it is is in breach - so close it.

Maybe a combination of the two ideas? I.e. close the app store for iOS14 and earlier (except prior purchases of course) and increase the price of new devices. 

One thing is sure, Apple will find a different way to get their revenue and it is us customers who will pay for this unwarranted blind-sighted government intrusion to commerce.

This will have far reaching effects, so really hope Apple & Google simply pull the app-store from South Korea.

Didn’t we know this a month ago?
