Phil Schiller, Apple s former head of marketing and current Apple Fellow, has taken to the stand to answer questions about the rules of the App Store, as the company s high-profile lawsuit with Epic Games enters its critical phase.
Schiller revealed a number of details about the way Apple deals with its developer partners, as the company attempts to deflect accusations of domineering behaviour.
According to Schiller, 90% of developers are eligible for the App Store Small Business Program, which means they only have to pay a 15% fee on app sales rather than 30%.

Delay in paddy procurement and transport issue worry farmers
P. Jaipal Reddy is a farmer with about four acres of land near Shivampet. He cultivated paddy in his land and got a harvest of 100 quintals. He transported his produce to the Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society (PACS) located at Shivampet about two weeks ago. Part of his produce kept at the PACS was covered with tarpaulin covers and coconut tree branches. As there was rain, about 50 kilograms of paddy sprouted while the remaining was safe. After weighing of the paddy, it was shifted to the rice mill on Wednesday.
MUMBAI: Tesla founder Elon Musk tweeted today that Tesla has “diamond hands” by using the emoji for diamond and hands amid a meltdown in the global cryptocurrency market.
Musk’s tweet could be interpreted as the company’s commitment to hold on to their Bitcoin position that the company took earlier this year with an investment of $1.5 billion.
Tesla, however, did book some profits worth $100 million on its Bitcoin position by trimming some positions, according to the company’s March quarter earnings.
Musk had earlier this week clarified that Tesla had not sold any of its Bitcoins after the company last week said it will no longer accept Bitcoin as payment for its products due to concerns related to the environmental damage caused by cryptocurrency mining.

Omaha Marae chair Annie Baines told commissioners that Kaipara Ltd had been withholding its “cultural liaison fee” for a year, without the knowledge of the marae.
As part of Kaipara Ltd’s consent, 17 years ago, it had agreed to pay 50 cents for each cubic metre of sand extracted, worth $2 million over the 20-year period. Half was paid to the Ngati Wai Settlement
