The FTC is looking into claims that Apple’s App Store violates antitrust law, following the launch of Apple Music, reports Reuters.Apple takes a 30% cut of all in-app purchases including music streaming subscriptions, digital goods, and more. For some industries, 30% is a big portion of their profit margins. As $9.99 is the industry standard for streaming music services, it’s possible that if rivals charged a higher subscription price (to offset Apple’s cut), they’d lose customers to Apple Music.One solution to avoid the 30% cut, is to have customers signup for subscriptions outside of the App Store; however, Apple’s guidelines prevent apps from presenting this as an option.
