"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."
"Apple is cutting App Store developer fees in China from March 15th, dropping its typical commission on purchases from 30 percent down to 25 percent. The decision was made following discussions with the Chinese regulator, suggesting that the reduction aims to avoid regulatory intervention after China reportedly considered opening a formal investigation into the iPhone maker's App Store fees and policies in early February."
Apple announced fee reductions for its App Store in China effective March 15th, cutting standard developer commissions from 30 percent to 25 percent and small business rates from 15 percent to 12 percent. The decision follows discussions with Chinese regulators after the country considered investigating Apple's App Store fees and policies in February. These changes apply to both iOS and iPadOS platforms. China represents approximately 17 percent of Apple's revenue, making regulatory compliance strategically important. Apple has previously made similar policy adjustments in response to regulatory pressure from the European Union, demonstrating a pattern of adapting its business practices to meet regional regulatory requirements.
