Summary
Apple’s recent legal challenge over its commission fees on iPhone apps has inadvertently spurred moves from major tech companies. Amazon now allows customers to buy Kindle books via its iOS app using a "Get Book" button, bypassing the 27% Apple commission previously enforced. Meanwhile, Spotify and others are also enabling users to view pricing and make purchases without the restriction. Despite its strong disagreement with Apple, the company is appealing the ruling as it stands in the face of significant legal challenges.
