App Store

A collective of mobile game developers in South Korea has alleged that Apple collects more than its advertised 30% commission on App Store purchases.

'The OG App' was removed for violating Instagram owner Meta's terms of use, which in turn constituted a breach of Apple's App Store review guidelines.  

Apple kicked VK, Russia's homegrown Facebook rival, off the App Store globally to comply with the latest tranche of British sanctions.

Starting as early as October 5, App Store prices will go up in all countries and territories that use the euro, in addition to nine other countries.

South Korea's telecoms regulator is planing to launch an investigation into app store operators over suspected violations of in-app payment law.

The App Store will get new, dedicated advertising placements for apps on the 'Today' homepage as well as individual app pages. 

Previously, users could only purchase a Netflix subscription on mobile through a browser because of Apple's up to 30% commission on all App Store transactions.

Former staff and current members of Apple's exec team talked about the original iPhone and its impact on company culture.

Apple will still charge a commission on purchases, albeit with a 4% haircut for transactions processed outside the App Store.

"At its core, TikTok functions as a sophisticated surveillance tool that harvests extensive amounts of personal and sensitive data."

"We are glad that Apple has finally brought its conditions in line with European and Dutch competition rules," said Netherlands' ACM.

App Store growth was down to 4% in May according to Katie Huberty.
