Comment on Google will consider lowering Play Store cut to 15% for certain appsparent

Do you have a source that Apple’s waived or otherwise modified their cut with other vendors or “app categories”? Your source only shows that Epic attempted to make a deal and failed. Apple then cut the fee for small developers to appease the public _after_ the Epic lawsuit.

You can search around for various large companies and deals or discussions they’ve had with Apple. Uber, Netflix, Facebook come to mind.

Please note the specific language I used in my comment as well.

As an example: https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/5/22421734/apple-epic-netfli...

You’ll have to do some digging too if you’re interested. I can’t remember exactly and now when I search I just get current news as it relates to pricing for different app categories/subscriptions, etc.
