Such a clickbait-y headline I am not going to watch it.
Free apps aren’t changing in anyway.
The tl;dr is that for developers using the app store, nothing changes. Developers wishing to not use the app store have to agree to a new fee structure.
Apple, as expected, intends to make up for lost profits by charging more money.
If you are outside the EU none of this matters to you.
Note that I am not disagreeing with the sentiment , but rather I am disagreeing with the clickbait headline.
Well, it basically prevents something like F-Droid for iOS arising from the EU ruling. Kinda big deal. Not that the fanboys would care though. Apple is infallible.
