AAPL was smart to settle with more favorable terms rather than wait for the judge’s ruling. It will have to make some concessions though but I thinknot a major to AAPL’s revenue and growth trajectory

The new advertising policy, meanwhile, will make it easier for developers to promote alternative pricing plans and ways to pay -- without Apple taking a cut.\nApple has long allowed developers to advertise external payment methods -- such as Netflix Inc. pointing users via email to sign up on its website instead of the app -- but has frowned upon the practice. The new policy ensures Apple can’t ban developers for these communications. It doesn’t, however, let developers advertise outside pricing or payment methods within apps themselves.\nThe company is “clarifying that developers can use communications, such as email, to share information about payment methods outside of their iOS app,” Apple said in a statement.\nCritically for Apple, the settlement excludes more significant App Store changes that were sought by some outside developers and legislators. The company is still requiring developers to sell their apps -- as well as in-app items and subscriptions -- using Apple’s payment system, which takes between 15% and 30% in commissions. Apple reduced the cut to 15% for all developers that generate $1 million or less annually last year. On Thursday, it committed to continuing that policy for the next three years.\nThe settlement also doesn’t require Apple to allow third-party app stores or the so-called sideloading of software. And the company doesn’t have to further reduce its revenue share. The accord will require approval from Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who is overseeing this lawsuit. She is also the judge in Apple’s lawsuit with Epic Games Inc., which has contested the App Store policies as well. It’s unclear if this settlement will affect her opinion in that higher-stakes suit with the maker of Fortnite.\nApple’s App Store practices have come under increasing scrutiny in recent months, with critics saying the tech giant wields too much power in the industry. U.S. Senators have griped about the “gatekeeper control” that Apple and Google have with their mobile operating systems, forcing the companies to testify before Congress. And South Korea is poised to become the first country to impose curbs on the companies’ app marketplaces.\nApple’s App Store practices have come under increasing scrutiny in recent months, with critics saying the tech giant wields too much power in the industry. U.S. Senators have griped about the “gatekeeper control” that Apple and Google have with their mobile operating systems and have hauled the companies into congressional hearings. And South Korea is poised to become the first country to impose curbs on the companies’ app marketplaces.\nWith Thursday’s agreement, Apple said it would retain recent changes to the App Store search engine for the next three years. “At the request of developers, Apple has agreed that its Search results will continue to be based on objective characteristics like downloads, star ratings, text relevance and user behavior signals,” Apple said.\nThe Cupertino, California-based company is also expanding the number of price points developers can offer from fewer than 100 to more than 500, and it will publish an annual App Store transparency report.\nThat report “will share meaningful statistics about the app review process, including the number of apps rejected for different reasons, the number of customer and developer accounts deactivated, objective data regarding search queries and results, and the number of apps removed from the App Store,” according to Apple. And the company plans to detail more information about its app review process on its website.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":819281769,"gmtCreate":1630072521751,"gmtModify":1676530216965,"author":{"id":"3575071580584448","authorId":"3575071580584448","name":"Kiat1989","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/343f34c360ca17ff37c88a40fc2527bd","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3575071580584448","idStr":"3575071580584448"},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/819281769","repostId":2162145170,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":819188531,"gmtCreate":1630044600423,"gmtModify":1676530209255,"author":{"id":"3581816252667558","authorId":"3581816252667558","name":"tanks09","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d3a860d19cbe659e537ab4dcbdc7d1d","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3581816252667558","idStr":"3581816252667558"},"htmlText":"Hold and hold!&nbsp;","listText":"Hold and hold!&nbsp;","text":"Hold and hold!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/819188531","repostId":2162145170,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5689651,"gmtCreate":1630290870830,"gmtModify":1663233092541,"authorId":3581478820646520,"author":{"id":3581478820646520,"idStr":"3581478820646520","authorId":3581478820646520,"name":"TimTamPrata","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7112dd358a087dca78af99b862816363","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":819188531,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Huat","text":"Huat","html":"Huat"},{"id":5682256,"gmtCreate":1630213746047,"gmtModify":1663233061246,"authorId":3581816252667558,"author":{"id":3581816252667558,"idStr":"3581816252667558","authorId":3581816252667558,"name":"tanks09","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d3a860d19cbe659e537ab4dcbdc7d1d","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":819188531,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Huat x 99","text":"Huat x 99","html":"Huat x 99"},{"id":5676680,"gmtCreate":1630151838938,"gmtModify":1663233036232,"authorId":3581478820646520,"author":{"id":3581478820646520,"idStr":"3581478820646520","authorId":3581478820646520,"name":"TimTamPrata","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7112dd358a087dca78af99b862816363","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":819188531,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Huat","text":"Huat","html":"Huat"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":819102901,"gmtCreate":1630040038103,"gmtModify":1676530208201,"author":{"id":"3570232772432396","authorId":"3570232772432396","name":"LEEKONGYONG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c74d9c9f2649cfda0fddd357a5291916","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/646756f1284a5a6480ed02cc4fa7d1d2","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3570232772432396","idStr":"3570232772432396"},"htmlText":"Hold&nbsp;","listText":"Hold&nbsp;","text":"Hold","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/819102901","repostId":2162145170,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":819103402,"gmtCreate":1630039724406,"gmtModify":1676530208113,"author":{"id":"3573540190522229","authorId":"3573540190522229","name":"Targarean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/59de1c73df3e7e460bd84cc786850fa6","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae1f49570794979e009a5efdeb6f4789","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3573540190522229","idStr":"3573540190522229"},"htmlText":"AAPL was smart to settle with more favorable terms&nbsp;rather than wait for the judge’s ruling.
