I-Apple ilahlekelwe ngumthetho ngokuchasene neMidlalo ye-Epic kwaye iziphumo zibeke ngaphambili

Ngaphezulu nje konyaka odlulileyo sabelana ngengxabano apha kwiblogi eyadalwa phakathi kwe-Apple kunye neMidlalo ye-Epic ngenxa yokuba lo mva uqalise uhlaziyo lwe-Fortnite Battle Royale apho ivumele abadlali ukuba bakhethe apho benze khona iintlawulo zabo kwaye ngokusisiseko bakwazi ukutsiba i-30% ikhomishini efunwa yi-Apple.

Ngenxa yoku, i-Apple kwimeko yokuqala yasisusa isicelo kwivenkile yesicelo sayo, nto leyo eyakhokelela kwisimangalo seMidlalo ye-Epic etyhola i-Apple ngokuzimeleyo kwaye emva koko abaphuhlisi abazimeleyo abaziwayo bajoyina isizathu.

Ekuqaleni izinto bezingabonakali kakuhle kwiMidlalo ye-Epic, kodwa kubonakala ngathi esi senzo abaninzi besicinga ngokuzibulala sibe neziphumo eziye zamisela umzekelo kwindlela eziphathwa ngayo.

Kwaye oko Umgwebi uYvonne González Rogers kutshanje ukhuphe umyalelo wokunqanda kwi-Epic vs. Apple case NgoLwesihlanu, ibeka izithintelo ezintsha kwimithetho ye-Apple Store ye-Apple kunye neenyanga eziphela zeengxabano ezikrakra zomthetho.

Njengenxalenye yomyalelo wenkundla omtsha, I-Apple inomyalelo wokuthintela ngokusisigxina

"ethintela abaphuhlisi ukuba babandakanye kwizicelo zabo kunye namaqhosha abo emetadata, amakhonkco angaphandle okanye ezinye iifowuni kwisenzo esikhokelela abathengi kwiindlela zokuthenga, ukongeza ekuthengweni kwe-app kunye nokunxibelelana nabathengi ngamanqaku oqhagamshelwano afunyenwe ngokuzithandela kubathengi ngokubhaliswa kweakhawunti. kwisicelo.”

Ngamafutshane, Ii-apps ze-iOS kufuneka zikwazi ukuqondisa abasebenzisi kwiinketho zokuhlawula ngaphaya kwezo zinikezelwa yi-Apple. Lo myalelo kulindeleke ukuba uqale ukusebenza ngeentsuku ezingama-90, nge-9 kaDec, ngaphandle kokuba inkundla ephakamileyo igweba ngokwahlukileyo.

Kusenokwenzeka ukuba ngelo xesha, uphawu olukhulu lwabathengi be-elektroniki isibheno sokuphikisa izigqibo zesigwebo. Iikhomishini ezihlawuliswa yi-Apple kunye nenkqubo yayo ye-in-app zingumthombo wengeniso yeqela, ekubeni zifikelela kwi-15 okanye i-30% yexabiso lokuthenga.

Kwisigqibo esahlukileyo, inkundla yathi i-Epic Games yaphula isivumelwano sayo kunye ne-Apple xa iphumeza enye inkqubo yokuhlawula kwi-Fortnite app. Ngenxa yoko, i-Epic kufuneka ihlawule i-Apple 30% yayo yonke ingeniso eqokelelwe ngenkqubo ukususela ekuphunyezweni kwayo, okungaphezulu kwe-3,5 yezigidi zeedola.

Emva kolu loyiso lwe-Epic, iziphumo zakhawuleza: NgoLwesihlanu, izabelo ze-Apple zehla kakhulu kwiinyanga. Isitokhwe sehle nge-3,3%, ukuhla kwayo okukhulu ukususela ngoMeyi 4, ukutyhala i-capitalisation ye-iPhone maker ibe malunga ne-85.000 yeebhiliyoni zeedola.

Abahlalutyi bathi ngelixa intshukumo ibinamandla okubetha ingeniso yeenkonzo ze-Apple, umqhubi omkhulu wokukhula kwiminyaka yakutshanje, iziphumo zokusabela bezingekacaci, ziya kuhlukaniswa ngokuhamba kwexesha kwaye aziyi kumela iqhekeza elincinci lengeniso epheleleyo. .

Kwimeko, Kubonakala ngathi i-Epic iyifumene le nto ibiyifuna: ukukwazi ukubonelela ngenkqubo yakho yokuhlawula ukunqanda i-30% ikhomishini ehlawuliswa yi-Apple.

Enyanisweni, I-Apple ayinakuphinda ithintele abanini be-iPhone ekusebenziseni inkqubo yayo yokuhlawula (enokuthi ibe sisibetho kwimodeli yeshishini ye-App Store), kodwa ubulungisa abuzange buhlangabezane nezityholo zokuziphatha okuzimeleyo kunye nokuchasana nokukhuphisana. Ukongeza, i-Epic yayalelwa ukuba ihlawule umonakalo kwi-Apple ngokubeka inkqubo yayo yokuhlawula kwinguqulo ye-iOS yeFortnite.

Nangona Imidlalo ye-Epic isavaliwe kwivenkile yeapp kwaye, ngokwesigqibo senkundla, i-Apple inalo lonke ilungelo lokugcina umshicileli womdlalo kude neqonga layo. I-Epic ke ngoko ilwele ilungelo labanye abaphuhlisi lokubonelela ngeenkqubo zentlawulo ezizezinye, kodwa abayi kukwazi ukuthatha ithuba ngokwalo.

I-Apple ixhomekeke ngokukodwa kubaphuhlisi abakhulu abafana ne-Epic, abenza inzuzo eyaneleyo yokuhlawula ii-commissions ze-30% kwaye bavelise ingeniso eninzi ye-App Store.

Okubalulekileyo, umyalelo wenkundla awuphelelanga kwimidlalo okanye kwiintlawulo ze-app, ngoko ke akucaci ukuba ingakanani isiseko somphuhlisi esiya kuyishiya inkqubo yentlawulo ye-Apple. Ukuba oku kuya kwenzeka, i-Apple inokunyanzeliswa ukuba iyishiye ngokusisigxina inkqubo yekhomishini.
