Apple relaxes App Store rules for services such as Spotify and Netflix
CNN
Apple will allow companies such as Spotify and Netflix to direct customers to their own websites to make payments, allowing them to more easily avoid fees levied by the App Store.
The iPhone maker's latest concession in a long-standing fight with app developers was announced Wednesday in response to an investigation initiated by Japan's Fair Trade Commission. The update — which will take effect in early 2022, and applies worldwide — will allow developers of what Apple (AAPL) calls "reader" apps to insert a link out to external websites and let people set up or manage their accounts there.More Related News
