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.
Apple seeks court approval for up to 15% fee on external app purchases
Apple is asking a federal judge to let it charge commissions of up to 15% on purchases made through external links in iOS apps, a move that reframes its App Store economics. It's a calculated step, not a surrender, and it signals how the company plans to adapt its rules under legal pressure. For developers watching the numbers shift, this feels like a moment to study the fine print.
