Apple to allow alternative payment systems on iOS in South Korea – IT Pro – News

Let me put it another way.

Suppose for school you have to purchase a book package from a book supplier with all books for a specific school year.
This package contains all the books that you will need according to the school.

Now you don’t want to learn French at school because you are already going to learn it somewhere else.

The school book ‘how do I learn to speak French’ is still in the book package. And you can’t take it out. After all, it is 1 package.

As a favor of the bookstore you do get the whole package. But he makes you pay a little less.

The analogy is not quite right since the book supplier is not freely selectable.
Well the school but you, who wants to go to another school

The French language lesson here is the payment function. I find it difficult to explain but the other school subjects are the other things that are taken.
(Store, support, software, intellectual property, etc, etc)

Apple’s business model is simply that you purchase a fixed package and for all this you pay through the 30%.
It is wrong to think that the 30% commission is only about a payment transaction. That would be insane.

Hence the book package as an illustration where you do not need that one book.
