Ngemuva kokugxekwa okunzima okutholwe amakhomishini aphezulu we-Apple ku-App Store yayo, eCupertino banqume ukubanciphisa babe ngu-15% kubathuthukisi abancane, into engathandwanga i-Epic noma i-Spotify.
Kade sikhuluma ngamakhomishini ka-Apple ku-App Store yawo izinyanga. Inkampani ikhokhisa bonke onjiniyela ikhomishini engama-30% kumali engenayo evela ekuthengweni kohlelo lokusebenza noma ekuthengeni ngaphakathi nohlelo. Le yikhomishini engathathwa njengezinga lomkhakha, yize kubonakala sengathi abaningi bayakhathazeka endabeni ye-Apple (akunjalo ngamakhonsoli wegeyimu, ngokwesibonelo). ECupertino bafuna ukuqeda lokhu kugxeka ngokuthatha isinqumo ebesinempikiswano enkulu: yehlisa ikhomishini isuka ku-30% iye ku-15%, kepha kuphela kulabo abathuthukisi abanemali engenayo ngonyaka odlule bangaphansi kwama-dollar ayisigidi. Futhi nansi imvelaphi yengxabano, ngoba izinkampani ezinkulu ziphinde zamemeza esibhakabhakeni.
Lokhu kucaciswe yizinkampani ezinjengeSpotify noma i-Epic. E-Spotify basola i-Apple "ngezinqubomgomo ezingenasisekelo nezingabizi lutho ezisongela bonke abathuthukisi be-iOS" nokuthi lesi sinyathelo sifuna ukufihla ubukhosi baso ukuzama ukukhohlisa izinhlangano ezilawulayo. Ku-Epic bakhuluma nge «isinyathelo esibalwe ukuhlukanisa onjiniyela futhi silondoloze ukubuswa kwabo esitolo nasezinkokhelweni zangaphakathi nohlelo«. Kusobala ukuthi okwenziwe yi-Apple akuzange kuzithande nhlobo lezi zinkunzi, ezivaleleke empini elwa nenkampani elawula isitolo sezinhlelo zokusebenza esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Bekungaba kuhle ukubona ukusabela kwakho ukube ukwehliselwa phansi bekukwenzelwe abathuthukisi abakhulu kuphela, ngabe ngabe ubukhumbula abancane? Impi iyaqhubeka.
