> That's how 70% of apple's revenue is gained

That’s factually incorrect and a completely absurd figure. The make way more money from device sales

Forgive me, I forgot an important word there:

70% of Apples app store revenue comes from game MTX. This is pretty much public record thanks to Apple v. Epic.

I completely get why they are in their death thoes, but as you said: they have other lucrative revenue streams anyway. So I hope the EU keeps slamming down on them.
