Apple asks court for 5% to 15% fees on App Store purchases made off-store

Apple told a federal court it wants to charge developers 15% on external-link purchases for standard apps, 10% for certain partner programs and subscription renewals, and 5% for Small Business Program apps. Epic Games says the proposal exceeds the Ninth Circuit’s guidance and plans to oppose it, so the fee structure remains in litigation rather than a settled policy.
