Apple Cuts China App Store Fees in Bid to Appease Regulators and Win Back Developers

Apple will reduce App Store commission rates in mainland China from March 15, 2026, cutting the standard rate from 30% to 25% and lowering qualifying small‑business and mini‑apps rates from 15% to 12% without requiring developers to sign new terms. The move, presented as the result of talks with Chinese regulators, aims to bolster the attractiveness of iOS and iPadOS for Chinese developers while easing regulatory and competitive pressures in a critical market.
