Apple changes US App Store rules to let apps redirect users to their own websites for payments

Apple is allowing developers to link their apps directly to websites for purchases, following a 2021 court ruling that granted Epic Games more control over in-app transactions. The company has updated its App Store guidelines but continues to face criticism for maintaining a significant commission on payments made via external links. Other companies, like Spotify, have already updated their apps to include these features, while Apple has denied the charges and plans to appeal the court decision.
