US judge rules Apple violated order to reform App Store
Major win for iOS developers.
A U.S. judge just ruled that Apple violated a court order by making it harder for app developers to link users to external payment methods.
✅ Developers can now bypass Apple’s 30% cut
✅ Avoid Apple’s 27% “workaround fee,” which the court deemed anti-competitive
✅ Freely promote external payment options to users
For indie devs and small teams, this is a real opportunity to keep more of what you earn and build sustainable businesses without the platform fee.
Monetization freedom is finally becoming real.
