  Precedent is precedent, and now smaller independent devs can use this ruling to their favor.

    This won’t help small devs. Here’s why:

    You have zero market. Pay to make your own payment portal, processing, etc etc. With what? Venture funding? Personal investment? Offload to square or PayPal and they take a cut instead?

    Apple charges 15% (not 30% for under 2 mil) of each $1. Making 85c per transaction with no upfront costs seems reasonable.
