Apple appeals court decision that forced it to allow links to external payments in apps
Image Credit: techcrunch- Apple has filed an appeal against a U.S. court ruling that requires it to allow apps to link to external payment methods outside the App Store.
- The ruling challenges Apple’s App Store business model, which relies on commissions from in-app purchases, and accused Apple of defying court orders.
- Apple complied by updating App Store rules to permit external payment links but continues to dispute the decision.
- The company may consider offering discounted commissions at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference to retain developers in its in-app purchase system.
