Apple reduces App Store commission rates in China, effective March 15, 2026, following discussions with regulators. The standard rate for paid apps and in-app purchases decreases from 30% to 25%, while auto-renewing subscriptions after the first year drop from 15% to 12%. This move comes as Apple enjoys a significant boost in iPhone sales in China, contributing to record revenue. Unlike the US, where Apple maintained its rates and offered discounts to small developers, the Chinese adjustment was made smoothly.
