Under pressure from Chinese regulators, Apple has decided to lower the App Store commission rate.
According to Xinhua News Agency and Bloomberg News, Apple announced a public notice today stating that it will adjust the App Store commission rate in mainland China starting on the 15th. …
With this adjustment, the standard commission rate for in-app purchases and app payments will be reduced from the current 30% to 25%.
The commission rate for small App Store developers or mini-app collaboration partners, as well as the renewal subscription commission rate after the first year, will be reduced from the current 15% to 12%. …
Apple announced a policy in December 2022 to reduce developer commissions on the Korean App Store from 33% to 30%, and since January 2023, it has applied a method that excludes value-added tax (10%) based on the supply price rather than the final consumer price, reducing the actual burden. In addition, Apple has announced plans to allow third-party payments (payments outside the app) on the Korean App Store and to apply a lower commission rate than 30% when using third-party payments.
