In a ruling and a 80-page order,Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found Apple in willful violation of a 2021 injunction designed to stop the company’s anticompetitive App Store practices. Andy Jen, the CEO of the privacy company Proton, thinks the ruling is a good one.
Here’s what he says in an X post: In response to the recent court ruling in the US against Apple’s illegal in-app purchase monopoly, @ProtonPrivacy will finally be allowed to let iOS users purchase subscriptions outside of the app store. No Apple tax means we will lower prices for users by up to 30%.
Worth noting, this court ruling is one of the most effective way to cut inflation in the US, by dropping the price of a significant chunk of digital purchases by 30% overnight. Percentage wise, it’s bigger than the 10% tariffs put in place last month.
