"Apple's Controversial Transaction Fees Stir Outrage Among App Developers and Users"
TL;DR
Apple has sparked outrage by introducing transaction fees that could cost iPhone and iPad app users more money, despite a US judge's order to change its 30% levy on subscriptions and in-app purchases. The company will still profit after introducing a 27% commission on purchases, leading to concerns that this move could be introduced in the UK. Tech watchdog Digital Markets Unit is being urged to legislate to prevent this, with Spotify calling for an end to Apple's fees through the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill.
