Apple Cuts App Store Commission in China Amid Competition From Domestic Ecosystems
Apple is reducing its commission rates for developers on the App Store in China, the company announced on Thursday. Following discussions with local regulators, the Cupertino-based tech giant’s revised structure will lower the standard commission and also reduce fees for developers enrolled in certain programmes, including the App Store Small Business Program. The move comes amid growing competition from domestic app ecosystems like Xiaomi, along with increasing regulatory scrutiny in China.
