A judge's ruling has posed a significant challenge to Apple's control over App Store fees, benefiting creators within the subscription economy like Patreon. The court stated that Apple violated a 2021 injunction, which required the company to allow developers to inform users about alternative purchasing options. This ruling not only prevents Apple from enforcing a 30% fee on in-app purchases more vigorously but also signals a potential shift towards a fairer marketplace for creators aiming to maximize their earnings without heavy commission deductions.
This is a huge moment for creators and their businesses. The iOS app is the No. 1 platform for fan engagement on Patreon, and we believe this ruling allows creators to get paid without giving Apple 30%.
The ruling said Apple had violated a 2021 injunction, which required the company to let developers inform users about purchasing options outside the Apple App Store.
