Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers remains unconvinced of Apple’s rationale for claiming it is complying with her original order, following testimony from Apple Fellow Phil Schiller.
As part of the ongoing complaint from Epic Games questioning Apple’s compliance with the judge’s original orders, Schiller and another executive tried to explain how the company arrived at its recent 27 percent commission fee change.
They also refuted the judge’s assertion that there is “no data” that the effective commission rate for developers is, on average, lower. Apple has a number of exceptions, including ongoing subscriptions and no commission at all for free apps, that result in an overall lower fee burden.
