The ruling could cost them billions of dollars in revenue. It's absolutely worth appealing. Even if they lose in the long run, they'll make a few billion more in the mean time.


how many billions? It seems their max app gaming revenue lost would be 64 * 70% * 30% = 13.4B for 2021 , but it's probably a lot smaller due to special deals, and also this would assume they would lose ALL the revenue. In reality they'd lose about,maybe ~$3B ?

The alternative would alienate some of their best developers -- who knows, maybe they'd leave?


>> In short, iOS apps must be allowed to direct users to payment options beyond those offered by Apple.

It is my understanding that the injunction is not limited to games. It applies to all apps.


where will they leave? 50% of market is Apple's and majority of people play games on their mobile phones and not on dedicated setups.
