苹果喊冤：我帮你们赚了1.3万亿美元，自己才提成200来亿

Group 1 - The core argument revolves around the "Apple Tax," with Apple defending its commission structure as reasonable for maintaining the App Store ecosystem, while app developers and users argue that the 30% fee is excessive for merely providing a download platform [1][3] - Over the years, there has been ongoing contention between Apple and various stakeholders regarding the "Apple Tax," leading to legal battles and concessions from Apple, such as lowering commission rates and allowing third-party payment options in certain regions [3][5] - Recently, Apple commissioned a report claiming that the App Store facilitated $1.3 trillion in transactions in 2024, with only 10.11% ($131 billion) attributed to digital goods, which is the only segment subject to Apple's commission [5][7] Group 2 - Of the $1.3 trillion in transactions, 78.3% ($1.01 trillion) were for physical goods, for which Apple does not collect a commission, and $150 billion was from in-app advertising revenue, which developers retain entirely [7][9] - Apple's report aims to argue that its commission is minimal, suggesting that it only takes a small fraction (around $200 billion) from the total transactions, which is less than 2% [7][9] - The report implies that Apple's contribution to the overall transaction volume is overstated, as the transactions would likely occur regardless of Apple's involvement, indicating a potential self-serving narrative in the report [9]
