Apple Says No Major App Developers Accept New Outside Payments

No major app developers have signed up to use outside payment options that Apple Inc. introduced earlier this year for its App Store because the fees they pay would be at least as high as they were before, according to testimony presented to a federal judge.

According to Apple, only 38 developers have applied to add such links — out of roughly 65,000 that could.

    The reason: Apple will charge a 27% fee to developers who want to use the link entitlement program — and when combined with payment processing fees, the total is even more than the 30% the App Store has taken for itself for years, the judge was told at the hearing in Oakland, California.

    Motherfuckers.
