Data published when Chief Executive Tim Cook answers questions from U.S. lawmakers about antitrust issues, along with other members of the generation industry.
Apple has released new insights into app store rates as it faces questions about how much it charges developers.
The study, which was commissioned from Apple but said was conducted independently through the research company Analysis Group, suggests that the company’s fees are roughly in line with the rest of the market. It compares Apple’s App Store to a number of other similar markets and suggests that 30% of Apple is equal to the reduction taken by many companies.
Apple has faced questions from developers large and small about how it distributes app store profits. The company receives a 30% reduction when consumers purchase apps through its store, and also asks companies that offer subscriptions, such as video streaming accounts, to only allow Apple users to point out their tools, which they also charge.

Because the App Store is the only valid way for users to get apps on their iPhones and iPads, developers argued that such relief is unfair and that Apple lowers their rates or allows choice markets where apps can simply be purchased.
The launch of the new studio also comes when Apple and other corporations have unfairly used their domain on their platforms. Chief executive Tim Cook will appear to be in favor of the rust-cancelling issues of American politicians next week, and the company has recently been embroiled in a public dispute over a messaging app called Hey.
The exam first presents the fees charged through Apple. The commission that is taken through the corporate is composed of a 30% rebate in paid programs or in-app purchases, as well as 30% rebate on virtual subscriptions incorporated into programs, this decreases to 15% after the first. Year.
Researchers note that Apple does not take any components of physical products or apps purchased through an iPhone or iPad, and that it does not take any cuts to the outdoor-purchased virtual app and then used on it.
Analysis Group said it analyzed commission rates for 38 other virtual markets, selling everything from apps and software, such as Aple, to other virtual content such as e-books or video games, and the fees charged through Apple.
The researchers said the maximum of those competing gaming apps and markets have the same rate as Apple, at 30%. While some others were particularly lower, others were higher, however, 30% gave the impression of being the popular market rate to promote applications, the researchers said.
The new study is just the most recent studies published through Apple, as it seeks to contradict claims that you are abusing the length and strength of your platform with the App Store. Last month, Apple released separate information to highlight the amount of cash “provided” through the App Store that was not yet shipped through the company, which it said is much higher than the profits it makes.
