Another, less rosy take: https://world.hey.com/dhh/apple-s-new-settlement-is-a-corrupt-joke-bd8b9c1e https://world.hey.com/dhh/apple-s-new-settlement-is-a-corru

  > But it gets worse, because the trophy of this settlement, as presented in the press, is supposedly that developers can now tell their customers where to buy services outside the app. Except no, that's not actually what's happening! Apple is simply "clarifying" that companies can send an email to their customers, if they've gotten permission to do so, on an opt-in basis. That email may include information about how to buy outside the app. This is exactly the problem. Without the ability to at least link to (if not fully integrate) a payment system, this settlement is a total sham. Hopefully South Korea will make the first real crack in this dam.
