According to CCTV News, on March 13, Apple announced a reduction in commission rates, as follows:
Based on communication with Chinese regulatory authorities, Apple will make adjustments to the App Store in China.
Starting from March 15, 2026, the commission rates for iOS and iPadOS applicable to the Mainland China App Store will be adjusted.
The standard commission rate for Apple in-app purchases and paid apps will be reduced from the current 30% to 25%. The commission rates for Apple in-app purchases under the App Store Small Business Program and Mini Apps Partner Program, as well as the commission rate for auto-renewing subscriptions after the first year that meet the criteria, will be reduced from the current 15% to 12%.
From March 15 onwards, developers can enjoy these adjusted commission rates without signing new terms beforehand.
We are committed to making iOS and iPadOS the best app ecosystem and a huge business opportunity for Chinese developers. We pledge to maintain fair and transparent terms for all developers and to always provide competitive App Store rates for developers distributing apps in China that are not higher than the overall fee levels in other markets.
