Apple has announced a major adjustment to its App Store commission structure in mainland China, following discussions with local regulators. The updated policy will take effect on March 15 and will reduce the fees developers pay on certain transactions within the App Store ecosystem. With Vivo and Huawei leading the local smartphone market, this is an effective way for the Cupertino giant to maintain a cooperative relationship with Chinese authorities while supporting developers who publish apps on iOS and iPadOS devices in the region.
