Apple's new App Store rules allow U.S. developers to offer non-App Store purchasing options but with a 27% commission. The Supreme Court declined to hear Apple-Epic appeals, leading to criticism from developers and companies like Spotify. Apple's decision has drawn sharp rebuke from critics, including its exclusion of video and news partners from the new rules.
