As a user I really hate that I'm forced to give Apple my payment information when I want to do business with a third party on an iPhone, including the possibility that the 30% fee they take gets factored into the price I pay. I think the EU's solution will make us both happy: you don't have to do business with companies that don't offer Apple pay, and I don't have to do business with companies that do.

This isn’t true. You can do business through Safari all you want and Apple takes nothing. Indeed I have bought Kindle ebooks on my iPhone that way.

  Not for music, video streaming, games, etc. There are limits to the kinds of experiences that can be built through a web browser (especially Safari).

    Do the business through the browser, view the content in the app. Netflix is happy to sell you a subscription through Safari.

      Why do I have to jump through hoops but not you?
