- UK targets Apple, Google app store fees for developers
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority proposed allowing app developers to redirect users to external payment methods, bypassing mandatory Apple and Google app store fees. Apple and Google restrict this 'steering,' but the regulator suggests they could charge fair fees for it. The UK also considers requiring Apple to open access to iPhone NFC payment tech for third-party apps.
