according to fast technology on september 3, the apple taxes in countries and regions such as the european union, south korea, and japan are not as high as those in china, which has led many netizens to shout that there is really no need to indulge them.

a chinese developer said bluntly, "based on the current 30% commission, after apple takes away 100 yuan of gift income in china's live broadcast industry, 70 yuan is left, 35 to 50 yuan is given to the anchor, and the rest of the money is used to pay for streaming costs, manpower and other expenses. a complete team of five people costs 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a month, and the remaining profit is not much."

in fact, china’s apple tax is currently the highest, and apple still has a monopoly model, which means it does not allow you to introduce third-party app stores and payment processing systems.

what’s even more infuriating is that in the united states, the european union and other regions, apple has modified the relevant rules, which means that the apple tax has been reduced (to only about 17%), while also supporting third-party payments.

according to statistics from the third-party data statistics agency sensor tower, the "apple tax" generated approximately us$22.34 billion in revenue worldwide in 2013, equivalent to rmb 160.8 billion, and in china, the figure exceeded rmb 40 billion.

dai wensheng, a professor at the school of finance and economics of renmin university of china, said that apple's charging model for domestic developers is unreasonable. first, when the software is sold in the app store, if the software is charged, apple also charges a fee. second, the payment in daily games must be made through apple pay, and apple charges a 15% or 30% commission. these two charging models are unreasonable in themselves and are monopolistic.
