Capitalism: Apple will cut commission to 15% for small firms only
  • Apple today announced it will reduce the App Store commissions for smaller businesses. Under the new guidelines of the “App Store Small Business Program,” as it’s called, developers earning up to $1 million per year will only have to pay a 15% commission on in-app purchases, rather than the standard 30% commission.

    The new program will launch on Jan. 1, 2021, and will be based on the business’s revenues in the previous calendar year — meaning 2020. This $1 million threshold will be based on how much existing developers made across all their applications on a post-commission basis, Apple notes. That means the businesses could actually earn up to $1.3 million in gross revenues.

    It is nice PR move, but due to monopolization such developers now get only less than 20-25% of total revenues of AppStore and this part is dropping around 15-20% each year.

  • Look, Louis "common logic" (or lack of any real logic) again leads to wrong conclusions and not understanding that happens.
