The DCN, an association of press publishers which brings together prestigious titles such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, questioned the Apple CEO on “the necessary conditions” to benefit from this price reduction .
A few days after Epic Gameswar is declared on the Cupertino giant, the Apple brand is once again attacked over its commissions taken from the App Store. As a reminder, all applications present on the Apple download platform are subject to the brand's operating rules, and these stipulate that the brand takes a 30% commission on all purchases made within the application, once it is installed.
This practice is considered anti-competitiveby many tech companies, given that no external solution exists to be downloaded to an iPhone without paying the App Store, and therefore this commission.
A “premium” agreement between Amazon and Apple
Revealed during the audit of Tim Cook and others before the House of Representatives at the end of July, this secret agreement between the two web giants dates from 2017 and was negotiated in person by Jeff Bezos and Eddy Cue, director of online services. from Apple.
For those mainly concerned, this reduction in Apple's commission only applies to in-app purchases, and not subscriptions, moreover, it is part of a "premium" partnership between the two companies. This is in no way a “gift” to Amazon. Press publishers therefore questioned the Apple boss, in this open letter, about the conditions necessary for them too to benefit from this “premium partnership”.
Apple's commission has been very seriously attacked in recent weeks, while the Apple brand is already trying to resolve the Fortnite problem, now a new media bombshell has exploded in Tim Cook's face.
