I've never heard of this before. Are you talking about services like Apple pay, arcade, tv+, fitness+, icloud+?

- klelatti 5y agoPresumably App Store fees as the 30% is under scrutiny / threat in lots of jurisdictions.
- Spartan-S63 5y agoThen it's good news they're branching out their services beyond just the App Store commission.
- klelatti 5y agoIndeed. Actually I think the impact will be less than many expect - it’s definitely not going to zero!
- jbverschoor 5y agoYup.. watch out aws, gcp, azure
- usui 5y agoImagine if Apple started making their chips available for use on server platforms, with that power efficiency.
- jbverschoor 5y agoWell, their contracts with AWS should expire in a year or 2. Also, they've used AWS, GCP, and Azure. It only makes sense to migrate to their own cloud. They're already offering Xcode Cloud. The logical step afterwards would be a public cloud. This is where the big money is.
- threeseed 5y agoa) For almost all developers it's 15%. b) It's under scrutiny but the legal consensus being formed is that Apple simply needs to allow links to alternate payment systems. It doesn't need to allow sideloading or offer alternate app stores. c) Some countries are looking at forcing Apple to offer a "choose your phone/mail/calendar app" screen on initial phone purchase which does have precedent and looks far more likely.
- klelatti 5y agoWe’re talking about the impact on Apple here and the large majority of their income will come from developers that are in the 30% tier. Whether it’s another App Store or a link either way will affect Apple’s take through the App Store.
