People keep talking about 30% cut but it's actually more than that if you look outside of U.S.
Apple takes more than 30% cut for in-app purchases made in other countries. For example, an in-app-purchase (IAP) you sell in USD for $15.99 is translated to 1249 Indian Rupees and you get a proceed of 741 Rupees which is only 59%. So Apple keeps the rest 41%. Today's (when I wrote this) exchange rate shows approx. 76 rupees for 1 USD so the amount they charge the user is pretty accurate but Apple put so much wiggle room in their favor. This is true for other currencies as well.
