Swift summary

  • Fortnite will return to the iPhone next week, as announced by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney.
  • The comeback follows a court ruling by judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers that impacts Apple’s App Store policies.
  • Apple can no longer stop developers from linking to external purchase platforms or explaining choice subscription options outside the App Store.
  • Currently, Apple requires all app-based purchases to be made within its ecosystem, charging a 15-30% commission on transactions. This practice limits companies like Netflix and Spotify from offering subscriptions via their apps without incurring fees.
  • The ruling allows companies to include links for external transactions and provide facts about alternatives.Such as:

– Spotify plans to add web-based subscription links in its iPhone app soon.
– Patreon contributors using iPhones had previously seen up to 30% of donations go directly to Apple rather than creators they support.

  • Apple intends to appeal the court decision.
