But I already use proton and purchased outside the Apple Store (on the proton website) and use it on my iPhone? What changed?

This the trump-licker? Yeah, bye Proton.
Buh bye now
It's not exactly 30%. For sales below $1M, it's 15%: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/small-business-program/
In Europe, where this was established last year, they started charging a Core Technology Fee to cover the cost of hosting and data transfer: https://developer.apple.com/support/core-technology-fee/
And if you switch payment providers, you have to pay at least 2.5% plus transaction and any intermediary fees.
It's nice that Proton is offering a discount, but for everyone else there may be additional ongoing costs.
15% if you know about it, if you apply, if you get accepted
Good watch on this stuff, the recent court decision overall
Dude’s so vindicated. Apple lover who HATES their treatment of developers cases like this.
It's time to end monopolies
Should have done a valve and allowed selling anywhere but require price parity. Now from their greed there will be financial incentive for people to use another platform.

I got a Proton two-year subscription that averages out to two dollars and change per month.
I already feel like I got an incredible deal.
