Apple accounts for revenue as all of the money it takes in for the App Store before distributing 70%-85% to app makers.

Good thing we have a real judge who has said just the opposite in the Epic vs Apple trial. The judge thought it was foolish to claim that someone had a legal “monopoly” on their own platform. That’s just like saying Sony has a monopoly on the PlayStation
