iPhone apps are changing after a recent court ruling, allowing apps like Kindle and Spotify to offer new features to users.
The ruling by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers mandates that Apple can no longer take commissions from sales that link out from the app, leading to potential lower prices and new payment options for consumers.
Kindle now allows users to buy books directly from its site via a 'Get Book' button, and Spotify can offer free trials through its app.
The court ruling is spurring changes in how iPhone apps operate, potentially giving users more flexibility and cost-saving options.
