Apple revises fees and link policies following EU DMA investigation

Apple has updated its terms and policies for app developers in the European Union, ostensibly to better comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act. The new compliance plan allows developers to link to outside payment systems or promote other platforms — however, the new terms also have new fees that allow Apple to take a cut of each purchase. The company recently settled its antitrust case with the EU, agreeing to open its Apple Pay platform up to outside payment options.

The new rules, which are available to view on Apple’s developer support website, list all of the various percentages Apple takes from each purchase, regardless of where it’s made. The fee structure is different for those who enroll under Apple’s new terms and those who are part of its existing terms.
