You keep repeating that, are you trying to will it into existence?

I think it's factual statement. When regulators are investigating one of your business practices, that is a business risk.

I’d say both yes and no - Apple’s now booming services division (which includes the App Store) only started to produce meaningful revenue and profit after introducing a range of ancillary and subscription services. Absolutely agree that any change to their business model will be a hit on their revenue - but I believe people may be grossly over stating how much of Apple’s services division profit is coming from that 15/30% share. Running the app store is easily their most costly service and stable users aren’t in the habit of buying apps - but those people sure are paying their monthlies on iCloud/storage and music. (Also not to forget that apple get a cut from every Apple Pay transaction.)

Apple cut their fee for almost all developers to 15% back in late 2020.

The vast majority of app income is from apps that make more than $1 million a year.

Apple did it before Google.
