Apple’s updated business terms for EU developers introduce three major changes: the ability to use alternative payment systems outside Apple’s In-App Purchase, stricter child safety rules for these new payment options, and expanded eligibility for distributing apps through third-party marketplaces or directly via the web. For European customers, this means more payment flexibility, potentially lower costs, and a wider selection of apps from diverse sources, though it also requires greater vigilance regarding app security and the trustworthiness of non-App Store sources.
Does it? Based on what, exactly? This sounds like Apple’s justification of their monopoly, but I don’t see how it connects to any tanglible reality.
could it become easier to distribute malware? We’ve never had a chance to find out.
I’d also like to point out that all meta’s apps are freely available and widely promoted on the App Store. So where’s your protection from malware, there?
