Honest question: Let us say Apple is not charging anything for 3rd party app stores for the EU. Do you think app makers will charge less for apps in the EU? Do you think Spotify will pay extra to artists for all streaming done in the EU region? Discuss.
@nixCraft No, since there is no competition for the most popular apps (due to the network effect), their (in app) prices are purely defined by what people are accepting to pay, not by costs or any other mechanism. So this change probably means more profit for apps and less for apple, which I think is more reasonable here and at least decentralizes the profits a little. I don't care though because I'd never buy apple shit and don't use proprietary apps all that much.
