If they can charge 30% less without Apple's fees, then why are their prices the same whether you buy on their iOS app or direct on their website? Why have they been overcharging users who don't buy through the iOS app by 30% all this time?

Old knowledge disclaimer, but if they didn't change it then:

Because Apple literally tells people that they're not allowed to charge less somewhere else - at least that was the case several years ago...

Some things do charge different amounts though. YouTube Premium for example is more expensive if you subscribe in iOS but maybe that’s just because it’s Google.

They also could have just not let anyone subscribe through the iOS app. Lots of things do that.

This is the same on most platforms. You'll rarely find a product for different prices in different places because if they're listed on Amazon, Steam, Apple, Google, etc. they're not allowed to.

Because Apple prohibited that.

Likely they were not allowed to by the terms they agreed to with apple.

Most favored nation clause. Apple gets the lowest price that you offer. I'd you offer any discounts elsewhere, that have to be the same on the app store
