Apple has submitted to the court a new proposal for commissions it says it should be allowed to charge on purchases made outside the App Store system. The proposal sets a 15% rate for standard apps, 10% for the Video Partner Program, News Partner Program, Mini Apps Partner Program and subscription renewals, and 5% for Small Business Program apps. The U.S. Supreme Court denied Apple’s request to pause lower-court proceedings, leaving in place an injunction requiring Apple to let developers steer users to alternative payment methods. Apple previously faced scrutiny over whether charging a 27% commission on off-App Store purchases violated the court’s order.
