Apple lets devs use alternate in-app payment options, still takes commissions

Devs must ask permission to use 3rd-party payments, and Apple still wants a cut.

@arstechnica It's a concession of a grand total of 3%. They're giving up 3%. Out of 30 which is already insanely high just on its own. So woo hoo, the new number is 27%. In other words, this is not a concession AT ALL. It's a racket. It always was and it always will be.

@arstechnica "Apple, you need to allow third-party payment options including for in-app purchases."
"Okay, but we're taking a cut anyway."
"Why?"
