I think Wall Street missed that part



It was in a footnote in the ruling which is only starting to get attention.

Apparently the 30% rule in a different contract than the one that requires IAP. So it still stands.

So… you can’t use your own system, and if you link to a website instead, Apple can knock at the door each month and grab what you would have paid. Shallow victory there.


Found the footnote on page 155: 621 - The Court also notes that in the but-for world where developers could use an alternative processor, Apple would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store.


within apps distributed on the App Store.
