Major Apps Rush to Bypass Apple's 30% Fee with New Payment Options

A significant court ruling against Apple has paved the way for developers to integrate their own in-app payment systems, bypassing Apple's 30% fee. Major companies like Spotify and Patreon have confirmed they are preparing updates to enable these alternative payment methods. According to Taylor from Patreon, this change will allow creators to retain more of the payments made by fans on iOS. Similarly, Spotify plans to submit an app update to enhance user experience in the United States. Proton's CEO also noted that the company could reduce prices for users by up to 30%. Other major players like Stripe and Epic Games are providing tools to assist developers with implementing these new payment systems.
