Apple's App Store Payment Policies

Apple recently faced criticism for its payment policies on the App Store. The company now requires developers to pay a 12% fee if they use third-party payment processors, while still maintaining their costs and profit margins. However, this fee applies only if the payment link is inside the app. If users pay for additional services directly on the vendor's website without any link inside the app, no fee is required. Apple's approach to maximizing its revenue while adhering to legal requirements has sparked debate and criticism from developers.
