Yes, but it's relevant because Steve Jobs seemed to claim otherwise in his testimony yesterday:
> During a hearing before the House antitrust subcommittee on Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook testified that “we apply the rules to all developers evenly” when it comes to the App Store. But documents revealed by the subcommittee’s investigation show Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue offered Amazon a unique deal in 2016: Apple would only take a 15 percent fee on subscriptions that signed up through the app, compared to the standard 30 percent that most developers must hand over.[1]

- sah2ed 6y ago> Yes, but it's relevant because Steve Jobs seemed to claim otherwise in his testimony yesterday: You have a unfortunate typo in your first sentence (since your excerpted text mentions the correct person: Tim Cook).
