Apple has updated its website to list down all of App Store’s service, benefits, safety, security features, and more. The dedicated section highlights how the company’s digital market place is made a safe and innovative place for users and developers to utilize the complete potential of their devices.
Currently, the App Store is under scrutiny by anti-trust committees from around the world and strongly criticized by developers. Unhappy with the 30% commission rate of the App Store policies, companies like Spotify, Epic Games, Facebook and others, and have accused Apple of monopolizing the digital ecosystem which has initiated anti-competitive behavior investigations by federal agencies in the United States, Italy, EU, Russia, and Japan.
App Store Benefits and Services
Apple has categorically denied all accusations and has defended the 30% commission rate of the App Store on every platform, social and legal. In its efforts to justify the app’s share-cut percentage to consumers, the company has updated its Apple Store Online to list down all services and benefits the digital marketplace offers to consumers and developers for a safe and secure download experience.
“For over a decade, the App Store has proved to be a safe and trusted place to discover and download apps. But the App Store is more than just a storefront — it’s an innovative destination focused on bringing you amazing experiences. And a big part of those experiences is ensuring that the apps we offer are held to the highest standards for privacy, security, and content. Because we offer nearly two million apps — and we want you to feel good about using every single one of them.”
