The United Kingdom’s investigation into the way Apple runs the iPhone and iPad App Store has been extended. The deadline for the investigation has now been pushed to May 2023.
The investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is looking into whether the App Store is a fair way for developers to make apps available for download on Apple’s devices. The 30% cut that Apple takes from transactions is one key point of discussion, as is Apple’s requirement that developers use the App Store’s payment systems rather than third-party ones.
