At least apps can provide transparent options now. Your payment page could have a "pay us through the App Store" button that costs 30% more than the "pay us through our website" button, and explain why the numbers are different. Safari supports ApplePay, so your app could link you to a website which has a one-click payment option: no entering credit card details required.

Would be hilarious is Apple decided to make ApplePay less convenient in Safari now to hobble the competition.

It would be 3% less, assuming 0% fee credit card processing (and there is no such thing).

Apple will still be collecting 27%: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/16/us-app-store-alternativ...

But regardless of where it is purchased the developer still needs to pay Apple 30%.

So Apple gets paid. The customer who has to pay more loses.

And the debate is whether Apple or the app developer gets the blame. I suspect the latter.

It won't be 30% less. It'll be 10% less.
