Because the 30% is "opt-in" not automatic, the $1m threshold applies to all your apps and associated accounts apps combined, and $1m is just not a big target anymore considering 8400 people on $10/month subscriptions will get you over that line.
And of course, when they announced this big discount it was reported to apply to about 5% of actual IAP spending, which would make the average commission fee being paid around 29%.
tldr; it's a weaselly discount.
- criddell 1y ago> $1m is just not a big target anymore Yes it is. The percentage of developers in the App Store who make more than $1 million per year is tiny. According to this analysis[1], it's a single digit percentage. Hardly anybody pays 30%.

- benoau 1y agoThat's a 2020 report,by 2023 Apple was saying the $1m+ developers had grown to 10% of developers and many small developers were now earning $1m+. Correlating of course with the subscription-ification of everything. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/small-developers-on-the-app-store-grew-revenue-by-71-percent-from-2020-2022/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/small-developers-on-t...
