Overview

• Patreon is preparing an iOS app update to allow creators to accept payments outside of Apple's system, avoiding the 30% commission.
• The update follows a U.S. court ruling in Epic Games v. Apple, which prohibits Apple from collecting fees on external payments.
• Spotify and Proton have also announced plans to update their apps, with Proton CEO Andy Yen promising up to 30% price reductions for users.
• Patreon has not provided a timeline for the rollout of its app update, and Apple is still collecting fees on iOS purchases for now.
• Apple has agreed to comply with the court ruling while it appeals the decision, marking a significant shift in App Store policies.
