"We strive for iOS and iPadOS to be the best app ecosystem and a great business opportunity for developers in China. We are committed to terms that remain fair and transparent to all developers, and to always offering competitive App Store rates to developers distributing apps in China that are no higher than overall rates in other markets."
"From March 15, the commission rate for standard in-app purchases (IAPs) will be reduced from 30 percent to 25 percent on its mainland China App Store storefront for both iOS and iPadOS. Developers belonging to its App Store Small Business or Mini Apps programmes will also have their fees reduced by 3 percent, from 15 to 12 percent."
Apple is lowering developer fees on its mainland China App Store following regulatory discussions. Standard in-app purchase commissions decrease from 30 percent to 25 percent starting March 15. Developers in the App Store Small Business and Mini Apps programmes receive additional reductions, with their rates dropping from 15 percent to 12 percent for in-app purchases and subscription renewals after the first year. Apple states the changes ensure competitive rates comparable to other markets and maintain fair, transparent terms. Developers are not required to accept terms by March 15 to receive benefits, facilitating a smooth transition. This represents a significant outcome for Chinese businesses following a state watchdog investigation into Apple's App Store fees.
