Apple and Epic Games are disputing the portion of revenue Apple should receive from purchases made outside the App Store, continuing their legal and regulatory battle over app marketplace fees.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Consumer Apps. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face changing rules on how much platform holders can charge outside their official app stores. This shifts the economics for apps that want to bypass Apple’s cut, opening new pricing strategies and market access.
