The Supreme Court rejected Apple's bid to delay, forcing the disclosure after Apple had previously imposed a 27% external-link commission that the court found problematic.

Why: If you ship an iOS app and route payments through external links, these proposed rates determine your unit economics: 5% if you qualify as a small business developer versus 15% standard. Founders should model both scenarios now and check whether their app qualifies for the small business or partner program tiers before finalizing pricing. app-store payments ios compliance
