Apple is currently facing challenges after a court ruling mandated the company to stop taking cuts from payments made outside of its App Store. However, industry sources suggest that Apple is actively working towards restoring this revenue stream. The company's goal is to have the decision fully repealed in the near future, despite the setbacks it has faced in court.
Apple's profitability from the App Store heavily relies on these payment cuts, and losing that revenue could have significant implications for the company. While Apple is currently complying with the ruling, it is exploring various strategies to address the situation. The company may consider using other app stores like Google Play Store and Samsung's store as examples of platforms that also take a percentage of external payments.
However, Apple's unique "walled garden" ecosystem makes it challenging for users to explore alternative platforms, potentially limiting the company's options in this matter. Despite the obstacles, Apple is determined to find a solution that aligns with its business model and revenue goals.
