Ben: 我认为苹果应该接受法官的判决。法官的判决实际上承认了苹果在其应用商店中获利的权利,但同时允许开发者使用外部网站进行货币化,从而了解竞争性价格。苹果对法官判决的极端回应(追踪用户并在开放网络上收取27%的费用)以及其他原因,都表明苹果应该认输。 我建议苹果只对游戏应用实施30%的佣金,而允许生产力应用、书店和音乐服务等使用网页视图进行外部支付。苹果专注于游戏应用的收入,忽视了其他应用的诉求,导致其缺乏公众同情。应用内购买的转化率通常高于外部网站,尤其是在游戏中。但对于订阅应用来说,放弃一部分转化率以避免持续支付佣金给苹果,其收益远大于一次性购买应用。 苹果在链接方面缺乏灵活性,导致其失去对转化率的控制,而允许使用参数化链接可以改善用户体验。开发者可能会继续使用应用内购买,而不是强制用户跳转到外部网站进行交易,因为这会降低转化率。苹果可以通过降低佣金率来回应法官的判决。 如果苹果继续上诉并试图恢复之前的系统,最终可能会面临更严格的监管,这将对苹果造成更大的损害。苹果应该区分游戏应用和其他应用,对游戏应用采取更严格的规定,而对其他应用允许使用网页视图进行外部支付。苹果将所有应用放在同一类别中处理是一个错误,因为它忽视了不同应用之间的差异,并可能导致更严格的监管。 苹果继续对抗可能会导致国会介入并制定更严格的法规。国会应该制定更简单的法律,规定平台不能限制平台上应用的行为和盈利方式。苹果继续对抗只会加剧问题,最终可能导致更严格的法规,而接受判决则是一个合适的解决方案。苹果的领导层将原则变成了教条。
