Apple Developers Look For App Store Changes at Annual WWDC 2021 Tonight
News 18Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook and his team address one of their most important audiences on Monday, kicking off an annual conference for app developers at a time the iPhone maker is defending itself in court over its App Store practices. Last week, prominent developer and technology podcast host Marco Arment last week argued in blog post that Apple’s leaders need to acknowledge “two obvious truths”: that apps bring value to Apple and that developers attract customers themselves. Apple’s control over what apps make it onto its app platform and its commissions of 15% to 30% on digital sales have come under regulatory scrutiny and were at the heart of a three-week antitrust lawsuit brought by “Fortnite” creator Epic Games, where a federal judge is considering how to rule. “The result isn’t just incredible apps for users: it’s jobs, it’s opportunity, and it’s untold innovation that will power global economies for many years to come,” Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said in statement about the study.
