Apple said Wednesday that European Union developers pocketed the savings from mandated commission reductions rather than lowering prices for consumers. The iPhone maker commissioned Analysis Group to study pricing behavior [PDF] after the Digital Markets Act forced Apple to cut its App Store fees from up to 30% to an average of 20%. The research examined 41 million transactions across 21,000 products between March and September 2024, generating 403 million euros in sales. Developers maintained or raised prices on nine out of 10 products. Non-EU developers captured 86% of the 20.1 million euros in reduced commissions. Price cuts occurred on 9% of products, but the study attributed these to normal pricing patterns unrelated to the fee reduction. Apple argued the regulation creates barriers for innovators and exposes consumers to risks without delivering promised benefits.

Macworld With the new Apple Watch on the market, we’re always on the lookout for a price drop on the previous-gen models. Today we’ve got a great one: You can get the Watch Series 10 right now for $280, its best price ever, and a serious 30% discount from its regular price. The smartwatch has everything you get with the Series 11—a thin and large display, a gorgeous design, a good and sturdy build, and enough battery life that you only have to charge it at night. You can use this one to track your fitness journey, stay connected to your phone around the clock, and even run ECGs if you’re ever worried about your heart. You’ll even get the Sleep Score and the cool sleep apnea alert feature after the watchOS update 26. The Apple Watch Series 10 is a fantastic piece of tech, and we absolutely loved reviewing it, giving it a 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award. The main difference to the newer model is that you only get 18 hours of battery life vs 24 on the newer model, so you’ll probably have to recharge both once a day. But a quick 15-minute charge will get you through a night’s sleep, so it’s not too inconvenient. We’re never sure how long these deals stick around, so hurry and grab one of these Apple Watch Series 10 for $280 while the deal’s still around.
