Apple has finally changed a major change for European users in the face of strict surveillance of the European Union (EU) to avoid billions of euros and the European Union (EU) surveillance. Residents of 25 EU countries will now be able to download the app on the iPhone from other marketplaces or direct developer website besides Apple's own App Store.
Apple has announced before the scheduled period with only a few hours in hand, that the change will be effective through the iOS 4.1 and iPad 4.1 updates later this year. Under the new rules, users will be able to set the browser engine of their choice and will also get the opportunity to use third party wallet during the checkout.
With this change the 'button' of the app download will no longer be limited to the Apple Store. When the new setting is launched, the user will show a permit for once, where you will be informed that you are going out of Apple's Marketplace. Then, the app will quickly be verified through a 'notarization scan', so that the malware can be stopped.
However, this 'off-stor download' facility will only be effective within the EU. If someone is out of the EU for more than 5 days, this facility will be automatically closed.
App developers get more freedom in this new rule, but it is a matter of cost. A new 'Store Service Fee' has been fixed at a price of two levels. In Tear 1, developers will have to pay a fee at a rate of 5 percent on external sales. In return, some basic services including app reviews, basic support will be provided. On the other hand, the full service package will be available at Tier 2 with 5 percent fees. It will include automatic app updates, the App Store campaigns and other advanced facilities.
In addition, according to Apple's new rules, at any purchase outside its payment system, the Core Technology Commission at the rate of 5 percent; Will apply. The fee will be launched from January 1, 2021, and every old download charge will be canceled by decimal 5 euros.
According to Apple, the new calculation will pay more than 5 percent developers 'less than or equal to' before.
In April this year, the European Commission fined Apple $ 1 million (about $ 1 million). It was alleged that Apple was preventing users from going to alternative payment options. According to the Commission, if Apple does not comply with the rules, up to 5 percent of global income may be fined.
Apple claims that the EU has been 'changing the criteria of the rules' and the company has worked 'millions of hours' to obey the new rules.
However, not everyone is satisfied with Apple. Popular Game maker Epic Games CEO Tim Swini said the issue of taking 5 percent commission was 'ridicuing the fair competition.'
Although the new rules are effective, the EU thinks that Apple has not yet made considerable changes, then the company may be forced to separate the company or the App Store business.
