Apple agrees to settle potential class action suit by U.S. developers
>Apple agrees to make sure the search results in the App Store are based on objective criteria.I cant help but laughed when I was reading it. What were they doing before that?I thought the most important part was the next bit,>The settlement, which must be approved by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, comes as Apple is awaiting a ruling in a separate lawsuit, brought by Fortnite developer Epic Games, which seeks to force Apple to allow rival in-app payment and store options.>The same federal judge is hearing the Apple-Epic case and a ruling could come at any time.My guess is that the way things are going in these cases are not in Apple's flavour. And for all the court case I followed over years Apple tends to be the favourite in court. Rightfully or not. ( Some of the Judge are very clearly biased ) But Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers was clearly trying to get to the bottom of things. And asking some very hard questions.Is this enough? I am not sure if Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is easy to please either. And let's not forget this is US only. EU are grinding their teeth. Then there are South Korea and Japan. And China is surpassingly quiet in all of these.Phil Schiller was right, if Apple were to ever change its fee structure, that it should do so “from a position of strength rather than weakness”.     It was unfortunate Steve passed away soon after that email.
