Everyone also conveniently forgets that in many cases, Apple is only charging 15%, not 30 (small business, long-term subscriptions, etc...)

- awesomeMilou 2y agoYou are conveniently forgetting that this was a direct response to the Epic Games lawsuit, as to not appear too anti competetive: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/apple-lowers-app-store-tax-to-15-for-developers-making-under-1m-a-year/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/apple-lowers-app-store-tax-... Apple only makes concessions when it is under legislative pressure.
