Apple complies with Dutch regulator's ruling allowing apps to use other payment systems
Apple now allows dating app developers to use payment systems other than the iPhone maker itself. With this, Apple is complying with a ruling by the Dutch Authority for Consumers & Markets that imposed the change.
The ruling allows dating app developers to avoid the commission fee between 15 to 30 percent Apple charges. Apple emphasized that the American company's payment system can still be used and offers users of Apple devices advantages, making it easier to request money back, manage subscriptions and find payment history.
Apple's compliance with the ACM's ruling does not mean the tech company condones it. Apple appealed the decision "because we don't believe it is in the best interest of our users."
"We are concerned that these changes could degrade the user experience and pose new threats to the security of users' privacy and data.
