Epic v. Apple: Apple proposes commissions on US linked-out purchases of 15% for standard apps, 10% for partner programs and renewals, 5% for Small Business apps (Marcus Mendes/9to5Mac)

Apple has proposed a fee structure for purchases made outside of the App Store system in its ongoing legal dispute with Epic Games. The company suggests charging 15% for standard apps, 10% for partner programs and renewals, and 5% for Small Business apps.

Epic Games has responded, stating that Apple's request is "far outside of the bounds" of the court's guidance. A California district court judge previously ruled that Apple could not take a commission on external purchases after finding the company had willfully not complied with a 2021 injunction.

According to AppleInsider, Epic Games will appeal any commission value above 0%. The proposed fee structure was submitted after a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruling and a deadline set by the District Court.
