Apple will allow developers in South Korea to implement alternative payment systems
Apple will be allowing developers in South Korea to implement third-party payment systems in iOS apps to comply with the country's laws.
Apple and Google have been criticized -- and even sued -- for banning developers from implementing their own payment systems in apps. The two companies are notorious for charging developers high commission fees for each in-app purchase (IAP) a user makes. Last year, South Korea passed a law that forces the two tech giants to allow developers to implement their own IAP methods. As a result, Apple has decided to comply and allow alternative payment systems in the country.
