Apple modifies App Store guidelines to permit US developers to omit the 15–30% commission and include external payment links.

Apple has updated its App Store policy to allow US developers to include a link to an outside website for processing payments for in-app purchases, bypassing Apple's payment system, which previously charged developers a 15–30% commission. However, Apple will now attempt to collect a 12% or 27% revenue share from developers that opt out of the Apple system. This decision comes after the US Supreme Court refused to consider an antitrust lawsuit challenging Apple's practices.
