"Apple": 27% Application Shopping Red Comes Coming to the Act
A senior executive in Apple has acknowledged an American judge that the new fees imposed by the iPhone telephone manufacturer of 27% on purchases from outside the company’s application store known as ‘App Store’ is an attempt to comply with the law. “We are trying to enforce what the law requires. It comes to the decision on whether (Apple) has the right to obtain fees, even without the use of developers for the payment system within its application. Shiller’s payment dilemma is a long -term executive and has contributed to the development of the App Store, the largest executive official who during the hearing before the US partial court justice, iPhone Gonzalez Rogers, Auckland, California, testified. Together with CEO Tim Cook, and Luka Mesteri, the first deputy president of the company and his financial official. In the context of the interrogation of Gary Bernstein, the advocate for EPEC GMS, innovative “Fortnite”, Schiller said he did not oppose the condition of external links, despite the previous announced statements that it would “detract from the user experience.” A safe solution added: “The world has changed and the external ties are needed. I am not against the links. I want to make the solution safe for our customers. That’s what I focus on.” Earlier in the hearing, Apple’s efforts to justify the fees of 27%, with counter results, as Rogers interviewed another executive director about a study by the company, showing that half of these fees would be reasonable. Carson Oliver, senior director of operating administration at the App Store, saw that Apple used the analysis group to create new commissions for purchases. But Rogers repeatedly criticized Oliver for his statements on how Apple made a decision to impose fees on developers of 27% in exchange for buying goods or digital services that take place outside the application store, given that the minimum series in the study of ‘Analeys Group’ is 12.3%. “How did the other 15% of the 15% justify it?” She said. Services for developers provide “Apple” services for developers, including the discovery of applications and distribution, developer tools and platform technology, as well as additional privacy and user confidence and safety that cannot be compared to other platforms, according to Oliver. He said the company estimates that the actual minimum fees are 17%. Analisz Group estimated the value of each of these categories by comparing it to the platforms that include Microsoft and Google, “Alphabet”, “Etsy” and “Spotify”. Oliver said the study of “analyzes group” found that the value of these services would extend between 12.3% as a minimum, or a maximum of 92%, according to several factors such as the size of the developer. Rogers interrupted him and said, “You are 27%.” Oliver said Apple drivers believe that the actual commission rate is less. The judge replied: “This is a great assumption. Your assumptions are just assumptions. There is no information for it.” But Oliver said, “It’s not true.” Schiller is expected to continue his degree on May 22 when the hearing will resume.
