Yep. Apple should have handled this like tax brackets: The first million gets taxed 15% and anything beyond that gets taxed 30%.
I wonder why they're not doing that and creating all kinds of weird edge cases that will encourage hacky workarounds.
I guess they didn't want to lose out on the first million from those who are above the first bracket.
- Zobat 6y agoFrom the annoncement: "If a participating developer surpasses the $1 million threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year."
- dkarbayev 6y agoBut next year the commission rate will be 30% and if the earnings that year are below $1m the business will be only eligible for the reduced commission year after that.
- timjver 6y agoRight, but will they be eligible the year after? If not, then this still means that not surpassing the threshold could increase their revenue in the long run.
