The EU says it "welcomes Apple's changes" and they follow a "close dialogue"; IAP fees are 26%, alt payment processing fees are 20%, and link-out fees are 15% (Bloomberg)

The European Union has welcomed changes made by Apple to its App Store. According to Bloomberg, these changes follow a close dialogue and include new fees: 26% for In-App Purchase (IAP) fees, 20% for alternative payment processing fees, and 15% for link-out fees.

Apple has also agreed to comply with "fairer" App Tracking Transparency rules in the EU, as reported by 9to5Mac. This comes after an investigation by the German antitrust regulator. The changes aim to provide users with more control over their data and how it is used for personalized ads.

The changes to App Tracking Transparency, according to 9to5Mac, include eight modifications, such as the removal of the word "track" from the prompt. Apple stated that it was committed to ensuring the initiative remained available in EU countries and that it had been welcomed by privacy campaigners, data protection authorities, and iPhone users.
