In 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 on the Chinese mainland App Store will be adjusted.

The standard commission rate for in-app purchases and paid apps will be reduced from the current 30% to 25%.

We are committed to making iOS and iPadOS the best app ecosystem and a huge business opportunity for Chinese developers. We promise to maintain fair and transparent terms for all developers and to always offer competitive App Store rates not higher than the overall fee levels in other markets for developers distributing apps in China.
