The really interesting bit is where it says that developers won't be able to "let customers have access to purchases they have made outside the App Store".
Amazon has worked around Apple's rules by always kicking users out to the browser to complete the transaction. This apparently kills that.
- greyman 16y agoJason, I think this is still an open issue, as was pointed out in the comments under your Techcrunch article. There is also another possibility - that Apple just didn't like that in the new Sony app, you could buy ebooks directly, while other apps (like Kindle app, but also some others) fire up browser. And this technique Apple did NOT banned (yet).
- msmithstubbs 16y agoThe article does say that, but it's not clear who the source for this is. Amazon and Apple declined to comment, and the only confirmed report from Sony is with regard to in-app purchases, and I'm pretty sure that was an existing condition. So where is this new rule coming from?
