What the fee change means
->费用调整意味着什么
Then:Apple's fee structure for alternative stores in the EU is now different from what it was before. The company hasn't disclosed the exact new amounts, but the change is significant enough that developers weighing whether to use a third-party marketplace will likely take notice. Until now, Apple's commission on digital goods and services sold through its own store has been a major point of friction for developers, and the EU has pushed for more openness.
Translate: 苹果对欧盟替代商店的费用结构现在与之前不同。公司尚未披露具体的新金额，但这一变化足够显著，以至于正在权衡是否使用第三方市场的开发者可能会注意到。到目前为止，苹果对其自家商店销售的数字商品和服务收取的佣金一直是开发者的一大摩擦点，而欧盟一直在推动更大程度的开放。 Note: "third-party marketplace" -> "第三方市场" or "第三方应用商店" but we can say "第三方市场" for consistency. Next:The new fees apply only to apps sold through alternative stores in the EU. That means developers who choose to distribute their apps via those marketplaces will face a different cost structure than those who stick with Apple's store. The shift could make alternative stores more attractive, especially for smaller developers who have complained about the traditional commission rates.
Translation: 新费用仅适用于通过欧盟替代商店销售的应用。这意味着选择通过这些市场分发应用的开发者将面临与坚持使用苹果商店的开发者不同的成本结构。这一转变可能使替代商店更具吸引力，尤其是对于那些抱怨传统佣金费率的小型开发者。 Next:Potential impact on competition
->对竞争的影响
If developers start moving to alternative stores, the EU app market could become more competitive. Users would have more places to find apps, and developers would have more leverage in negotiating terms. That's a change Apple has resisted for years, but the company is now adjusting its approach in the EU.
Translation: 如果开发者开始转向替代商店，欧盟应用市场可能会变得更具竞争力。用户将有更多地方寻找应用，开发者在谈判条件时也会拥有更多筹码。这是苹果多年来一直抵制的改变，但该公司现在正在调整其在欧盟的策略。 Next:The move doesn't mean Apple is giving up its own store. It still controls the default experience on its devices, and many users will continue to use the App Store out of habit. But the fee change gives developers a real reason to explore other options, which could lead to a more fragmented market.
Translation: 此举并不意味着苹果放弃自己的商店。它仍控制着设备上的默认体验，许多用户仍会习惯性地使用App Store。但费用调整给了开发者一个真正的理由去探索其他选项，这可能导致市场更加碎片化。 Next:Revenue implications for Apple
->对苹果收入的影响
Apple's revenue from developers who use alternative stores is likely to drop. The company has not said how much it expects to lose, but the math is straightforward: if developers pay lower fees on those stores, Apple collects less per transaction. The impact will depend on how many developers actually switch and how much business they do through the alternative channels.
Translation: 苹果从使用替代商店的开发者那里获得的收入可能会下降。公司尚未表示预计损失多少，但计算很简单：如果开发者在这些商店支付更低的费用，苹果每笔交易收取的金额就会减少。影响将取决于实际切换的开发者数量以及他们通过替代渠道开展的业务量。 Next:Apple's overall revenue from the EU app market is still dominated by its own store, so the short-term effect may be modest. But the change signals a shift in how Apple is willing to do business in the region, and it could set a precedent for other markets.
Translation: 苹果在欧盟应用市场的整体收入仍以自家商店为主，因此短期影响可能有限。但这一变化表明苹果在欧盟开展业务的方式发生了转变，并可能为其他市场树立先例。 Next:The new fee structure is now in place for alternative stores in the EU. Developers will have to decide whether the lower fees are worth the hassle of managing multiple distribution channels, and Apple will be watching to see how much of its revenue actually moves.
Translation: 新的费用结构现已适用于欧盟的替代商店。开发者必须决定较低的费用是否值得管理多个分发渠道的麻烦，而苹果将关注其实际收入有多少会转移。 Now assemble the JSON. Ensure content is wrapped in
