Apple Overhauls EU App Store Fees
Apple has revised its App Store fees in the European Union, simplifying the structure and resolving disputes with the European Commission. Key changes include replacing the per-install Core Technology Fee with a 5% commission on digital transactions outside the App Store. EU app developers will now pay a 26% commission for Apple in-app purchases, 20% for alternative payments, and 15% for external purchase links. Apple is also expanding alternative app distribution and introducing additional child-safety measures. The new terms go into effect on October 1, 2026.53 sourcesSee all sources
