I think Apple needs to check on this very careful just because of some services like Uber offer services through the app and don't sell a physical good.
The opposite of this is, that you can't use Apples tier-pricing for services like that just because of it's usage-dependant and is reflected through actions in the real world.
I wonder how much effort Apple is going to put into checking on this actually. Especially because of services like Uber sell the ride. But what if the direct contract partner would be the driver and any service provider like that would just process transactions for comfort - so acting like a payment gateway for drivers.
- lemue 12y agoA valid point, but I guess Apple will change the terms of service or will define services like Uber as physical good, since the service affects the real world and can not be realised through in-app purchases. I think that is what it is all about. They do not want Devs to opt out of in-app purchases and adopt ApplePay instead.
- eddieroger 12y agoI'm pretty sure a cab ride is a real-world, physical thing. Besides, Apple's Guidelines are really just that, and they can enforce at their discretion.
