Apple App Store Updates


I had no idea that till now you couldn't rate Apple's apps. Guess the lawsuits regarding their app store and antitrust proceedings forced them to change the policy.


Already having fun reading Apple Maps reviews.

Apple is doing in 2024 what Twitter did in 2012.

There's a fee (0.5euro per user per year) if your app crosses 1 million installs on a 3rd party store.
The third-party store has to pay the same fee for every installation. And 1 million installation freebie don't apply to them.
If a developer even links to a payment option outside the Apple store, Apple wants a 27% cut of that. (Impossible to calculate and prove though)

On top of that, Apple in its letter to customers warned that these measures will decrease security so probably don't use apps that want you to use a 3rd party system.
