India will force Apple to open up third-party payments in the App Store

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is about to conclude its antitrust investigation into the App Store and concludes that Apple is expected to have to open up its platform to competitors. The next step would be to ask Apple to file a report, but it was unclear how this would differ from any previous Apple submission or when a final ruling would be made, the sources said. It is expected that CCI will eventually repeat its previous request to Google (open the third-party payment system on Google Play), and Apple will most likely be required to open the third-party payment system for the App Store in India, rather than just requiring developers to use their own payment system.

Apple is also facing a similar situation in the EU, so they are also preparing more widely for the App Store to open the payment system, and it is expected that the European digital market law will start to force Apple to implement this plan in 2024. Apple also has a precedent for opening up third-party payment systems. In 2022, Apple complied with the South Korean authorities' request to allow developers to use external payment methods. But Apple still limits the option to limit apps released only in South Korea and still charges a 25% commission.

In another ad, the Pixel showed off its latest feature — folding, while the iPhone fainted in shock. "What year is it?" Do we have flying cars? iPhone asked.
