With this, Elon Musk stands up for companies such as Epic Games, which is diametrically opposed to Apple.
If you have released a nice app in the Apple Store, you have to relinquish 30 percent of the revenue from the app to Apple. A high percentage, which has been under discussion for some time now. The discussion really started when Epic Games got into a fight with apple about Fortnite.
Now Elon Musk is also speaking out against Apple. He does this on his favorite communication platform: Twitter. According to the Tesla CEO, Apple is just a stingy company, demanding 30 percent of its revenue. He believes that Epic is right and that Apple should compromise.
Will anything actually change in the short term? That’s the question. Epic stood up and is now in a legal battle with Apple. Most developers will no doubt agree with Epic, but quietly keep their mouths shut. After all, Apple has the monopoly over its own store. Offering apps to iOS and iPadOS users must be done through Apple’s digital store. And so you are more or less stuck with that payment of 30 percent income. Elon Musk’s tweet won’t change that.
