There must be a fine for Apple due any day now, considering the ~20% scheme the EU has just told Google is illegal was largely copied from Apple, who implemented it after being fined €500m in April last year for their 27%-fee on steering. At the time the EU told Apple in their judgement that "steering must be free", and now it's apparent that renaming the fees is not a viable workaround.
> a commission of around 20% on non-IAP purchases: 13% for “store services”, 5% for the new Core Technology Commission (replacing the €0.50 per-download Core Technology Fee), and 2% for “initial acquisition”. Small Developer Program members and recurring subscriptions after the first year pay 15% — no “initial acquisition fee” and a reduced “store services” fee of 10%. But everyone’s on the hook for the 5% CTC.
