Apple has made changes to its App Store practices, now allowing developers to include a link to an external payment portal in their iOS and iPadOS apps in the US, following a legal case with Epic Games.

Despite this change, Apple will still charge a commission of 12-27% on payments made through these external links, and in-app purchases (IAPs) must remain an option in the app.

The new policy imposes various restrictions on developers, such as not discouraging the use of Apple’s IAP system and including a system disclosure sheet for external payments, making the overall impact on pricing and user experience minimal.
