Apple will reduce App Store cut to 15 percent

So the small apps, where Apple has to spend more hours of work for every dollar of revenue, get a discount. And the big apps, where all they have to do is transmit more copies off their servers, don&#x27;t get a discount.<p>I have no idea what Apple&#x27;s plan is between this and the Epic fight, but it&#x27;s fun to watch!

&quot;The new App Store Small Business Program, as it’s called, will allow any developer who earns less than $1 million in annual sales per year from all of their apps to qualify for a reduced App Store cut of 15 percent, half of Apple’s standard 30 percent fee, on all paid app revenue and in-app purchases.&quot;

Title should be changed to add a qualifier, such as &quot;Apple will reduce App Store cut to 15 percent on first $1m of revenue&quot;

This is finger to Epic games

Just imagine the profits we&#x27;ve lost over the years.

Thank you Epic

Really awesome by Apple! That is fantastic.

15% should be the top rate, with small developers at 5-10%<p>30% is just obscene and has zero justification other than pure unadulterated greed
