- gjsman-1000 5y agoEasy, any app that is making less than a million a year, or any app where people have been subscribed for over a year. They pay 15%. Also you didn't specify the app even had to be paid, so any free app counts too.
- zmk5 5y agoThis was only true a couple months ago and required a them to be sued by Epic (and a general "trust busting" attitude from the new admin) for them to drop it. They didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoWell, Tim Cook testified under oath that they had been doing the change to 15% for under $1M before the actual Epic Games lawsuit was filed, and that it had been in the works for over a year. And Biden had not been elected yet, even when they rolled out the 15% change Biden still wasn't President. Unless you actually believe that Tim Cook committed perjury.
- an_opabinia 5y agoListen to yourself. “Under the works.” Dude, c’mon of course it was the lawsuits.

- ksec 5y ago>Unless you actually believe that Tim Cook committed perjury. One. He knows there are no way to prove him wrong. Just like many other things he had said during Apple vs Qualcomm and Apple vs IMG. When there are ample of evidence his word are either lying by omission or a spin on a word's definition. Two, AFAIK, he didn't said "they had been doing the change to 15% for under $1M before the actual Epic Games lawsuit was filed, and that it had been in the works for over a year." He said and I quote "probably has its origins several years ago". They could trace that back as Phil Schiller's letter to Tim Cook on App Store if it needs to be.
