Apple says gaming slowdown and App Store changes hurt services growth

Apple reports that a slowdown in mobile gaming and App Store business model adjustments, including U.S. court-ordered payment rule changes, hindered services growth. Despite these challenges, the company surpassed 1.5 billion paid subscriptions. Furthermore, Apple has stated that a current proposal regarding the App Store in the UK amounts to price regulation.
