About four months after Apple and Google prohibit the forced payment system in -house app payment system, Apple has announced that it will finally allow a third -party payment system.Google is already in November, and offers a substitute payment system after reducing commissions.
At the time of this bill was deliberated, Apple appealed for consumer protection, saying, "Users who buy digital products in other mechanics are exposed to scams, reducing privacy protection, and making it difficult to manage their purchases."He expressed the opposition to reduce the chance of more than 480,000 app developers.
However, although Apple, a company, could not continue to disobey the law (in China, there were cases where a large number of apps were deleted due to legal regulations), but it was ultimately obeyed.
According to the Korean media THE KOREA HERALD, Apple has submitted a compliance plan to KCC (Korean Communications Committee), provides an alternative payment system on the App Store, and is planning to reduce commissions from the current 30 %.。
As of the 11th, it is not disclosed when this policy will be valid or how much the commission will be, but further details will be discussed with KCC.According to the official statement, "Apple respects South Korea's law very much and has built a cooperation with Korean talented application developers. We keep the App Store in a safe and reliable place for users.I always keep in mind to continue. "
In recent years, it has been increasingly hungry that Apple has implemented a payment method other than the in -house application system (in -App -in -bill) in the App Store, and banned links to off -app purchase.Although it has become a major issue in the lawsuit over "Fort Knight" with Epic Games, the Russian government and the Dutch government have been putting pressure to allow third -party payments, which is no longer overturned.I have a feeling.
Under such circumstances, it was the world's first in the world that a third -party payment system was promised in the app.This may be that Apple will also review the obligation to use the APP billing worldwide.
