Apple unveils new App Store feature that will let developers link to alternative payment methods — but it will still take 27% commission

Apex Legends Mobile.

Following the news that the Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of either Apple or Epic Games in their ongoing antitrust App Store lawsuit, Apple has rolled out a brand new links feature to comply with the court’s ruling. 

Epic Games mostly lost its legal battle against Apple, but a court did rule in favor of the Fortnite maker on one count. As it stands, Apple is no longer allowed to adopt any “anti-steering” measures and must let App Store developers offer their customers a link so that they can buy digital goods, services, and subscriptions somewhere other than Apple’s App Store.
