Apple signals possible services revenue push via third-party AI apps amid App Store commission pressure
On its earnings call, Apple CFO Kevan Parekh said AI offers opportunities "across third-party apps and partnerships" to support revenue growth, without giving details. Reuters reported that investors are asking whether Apple could distribute third-party AI agents through the App Store and take a share of their revenue. Regulation and litigation, including the Epic Games lawsuit that forced Apple to allow outside payment links, have cut into App Store commissions in some markets. Third-party estimates suggested an 18% drop in U.S. commission revenue, with declines also in Brazil and Japan. Apple guided December-quarter services growth of 8-9%. This is business news with no direct security threat.
