Apple Changes App Store Rules After Federal Court Order

Apple has implemented significant changes to its App Store policies following a direct order from U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. The company modified its rules to allow iPhone app developers to direct customers to their own websites for purchases without displaying warning messages, ending years of resistance to the 2021 court ruling. This change enables developers to process payments outside Apple's ecosystem, potentially avoiding the company's revenue share requirements.
