Does this mean that people like iFlow (https://www.iflowreader.com/Closing.aspx https://www.iflowreader.com/Closing.aspx) can start selling eBooks again now? Or is it too late for them already?
- kyleslattery 15y agoWell, I'd imagine they still can't sell it in the app, because the agency model means that they have to pay out 70% of the sale price to the publisher. After Apple's 30% cut, that leaves nothing for them. However, it seems as though Apple's ok with apps selling content through a website, as long as it isn't linked to from the app.
- mason55 15y agoThe requirement that in-app purchases be the same price is gone as well, so now they can charge a 30% markup to buy from the iPhone app.
- alanfalcon 15y agoNot under the Agency model where they still owe publishers 70% of the sale and Apple 30% of the sale. If they want a cut, they can only sell from a website, outside the app. They had a flawed business model to egin with in my opinion.
