Did Apple Just Make a Huge App Store Mistake?
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently made a big change to its Prime Video apps in Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) App Store. Amazon customers can now buy or rent digital videos on its platform directly from the e-commerce giant without the need to pay through Apple's ecosystem.
That tiny change is huge news.
Amazon is stepping around the standard 30% commission Apple usually takes on in-app purchases -- and Apple has given it permission to do so. The iPhone maker has a special program for subscription services like Prime Video. "Customers have the option to buy or rent movies and TV shows using the payment method tied to their existing video subscription," the company said in a statement.
