\tApple halved its commission rate for some App Store developers, apparently in response to criticism and regulatory scrutiny of its practices.<\/p>\n

From 1 January 2021, developers earning $1 million or less from their apps in a given year will qualify for a 15 per cent commission rate rather than the standard 30 per cent as part of a new App Store Small Business Programme.<\/p>\n

If a developer\u2019s revenue exceeds the $1 million mark, the standard commission rate will be reinstated for the remainder of the year. Higher-earning developers whose revenue drops below the threshold during the calendar year will qualify for the reduced commission in the next 12 month period.<\/p>\n

Apple pitched the changes as a boon for small businesses, stating the lower rate will allow developers to \u201cinvest in their businesses, expand their workforce, and develop new, innovative features for app users\u201d.<\/p>\n

While it also labelled the move as an aid to developers “during a period of unprecedented global economic challenge”, the change comes after intense scrutiny of Apple’s App Store policies and competitive practices from regulators in Europe [1], the US, Japan, South Korea and Australia.<\/p>\n

Apple is also embroiled in a vitriolic legal battle with Epic Games [2] over its terms and conditions.<\/p>\n
