> Apple is getting sued by the DOJ for purposely hobbling Safari

I don’t believe the lawsuit claims this, does it?

> which allows Apple to skim 30% off any purchase made through an app.

This is untrue.

- Most developers pay 15% for in-app purchases. Only the tiny proportion of developers earning more than a million dollars a year pay 30% and even then, it’s 15% for subscriptions after the first year.

- This is not any purchase made through an app. This only applies to digital goods and services.
