GoKawiilSouth Korea fines Apple $15.5 million over App Store payment rules
South Korea's Korea Media and Communications Commission fined Apple roughly $15.5 million (20.81 billion won) and Google a separate penalty for violating the country's Telecommunications Business Act. Regulators found both companies forced developers toward their own in-app payment systems via a 26% commission, delayed app reviews without clear explanation, and applied discriminatory commissions, and ordered policy changes to correct these practices.
