Elon Musk urges Apple CEO Tim Cook to adjust App Store’s 30% commission on in-app purchases. Twitter changed its revenue-sharing model for subscriptions, prompting Musk’s call for reform.
Elon Musk is again pushing for changes to Apple’s App Store policies. In a tweet (or post), he said he plans to speak with Apple CEO’s Tim Cook about adjusting the 30% commission the tech giant charges on in-app purchases.
Twitter (X) currently allows users to subscribe to other users’ accounts through its iOS app. These subscriptions utilize Apple’s in-app purchase system, so Apple takes a 30% cut of the revenue as per App Store guidelines.
On the other hand, Twitter did not take any revenue from these subscriptions for the first 12 months.
