what is the “apple tax”?
simply put, apple collects a portion of the commission through the "app store" and regards it as part of its profits. this is a "burden" that both developers and consumers have to face. especially in the fields of games and videos, due to the strict control of the apple system over the app store, developers need to publish software on the apple store and pay a certain percentage of commission, which has led to the formation of the "apple tax."
why does the "apple tax" cause controversy?
in recent years, the "apple tax" has been controversial. on the one hand, apple has made huge profits and gained some market advantages through this "tax strategy"; on the other hand, developers and consumers are also dissatisfied with the cost burden brought by the "apple tax".
