Apple pitches tiered off-App Store fees in Epic Games case
Apple has submitted a proffer with proposed off‑App Store commission rates for the Epic Games v. Apple case: 15% for standard apps (30% IAP), 10% for Video/News/Mini Apps Partner Programs and renewals, and 5% for Small Business Program apps. The filing also notes comparisons to Google Play’s rates and argues the linked-out fees are procompetitive, while the Supreme Court has allowed lower‑court proceedings to continue. Epic is expected to respond, with further briefs due as the case progresses, including a Sept. 14 deadline for Apple’s Supreme Court brief.
