Apple simplifies EU fees, opening new paths for app marketplace innovation.

Apple's latest EU fee overhaul trades the per-install charge for a flat 5% commission on apps outside its storefront, while easing the path for alternative marketplaces. It's a pragmatic move, less a surrender than a recalibration. Developers get simpler math; Apple keeps its cut. The friction that defined last year's battles is fading, which should invite more experimentation. If you're tracking platform shifts, our piece on Lightspeed's India fund shows similar recalibration elsewhere. Progress here isn't loud; it's structural, and that's worth exploring.
