Apple has made huge changes to the App Store

Apple has made sweeping changes to the App Store rules as part of its response to a class action lawsuit.

The decision could allow developers to advertise other ways of paying for services that are offered through apps, something that has been banned on the iPhone until now.

The changes are one of several concessions proposed by the iPhone maker to resolve a class-action suit from US developers and comes amid investigations by regulators into alleged anti-competitive behaviour.
