Except Apple specifically exempts real world services, because they agree. That'd be insane.

- camgunz 6y agoHow is email not a real world service. What even is a non-real world service?
- etchalon 6y agoDigital goods are not real world services. Labor, food, physical products, etc. are considered "real world services" according to Apple's language.
- camgunz 6y agoI’ll buy that (ironically) when they make iCloud free.
- etchalon 6y ago… that does not follow. Apple's definitions aren't based on whether a good is free. It's based on whether the service is delivered without real-world interaction by the user. Tuition at a brick-and-mortar college? No cut. On-demand video service with tutorials? They get a cut.
- camgunz 6y agoI’m zeroing in on the “real” here. Email is an indispensable service, just like paying tuition. The idea that “it’s on the internet so it doesn’t count” is... farcical coming from the biggest tech company (or one of the largest browser vendors, whichever seems more relevant) ever.
