Apple's New Fees Will Kill Free Apps
(youtu.be)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Such a clickbait-y headline I am not going to watch it.
Free apps aren’t changing in anyway.
The tl;dr is that for developers using the app store, nothing changes. Developers wishing to not use the app store have to agree to a new fee structure.
Apple, as expected, intends to make up for lost profits by charging more money.
If you are outside the EU none of this matters to you.
Note that I am not disagreeing with the sentiment , but rather I am disagreeing with the clickbait headline.
„Apples new fee might kill free apps in the EU that get downloaded more then one million times a year and want to be distributed via alternative app stores“ just doesn’t have the same ring to it I guess.
Realistically this will only really hit stuff like Netflix Games when they want to try to make their own store or something similar.
