I run a company of 4 people (including myself) and the "apple tax" (if by that you mean the price premium of macs and iphones vs PC and android) is a tiny fraction (borderline rounding error) of my budget.
- trvz 4mo agoApple tax generally refers to the 30% cut on app and in-app sales.
- NietTim 4mo agoIt's 15% for small developers
- paulatreides 4mo agothe 15% rate only applies to the first $1 million in proceeds, it does not work like a permanent tax bracket
- NietTim 4mo agoYes, small developers.
- paulatreides 4mo agoApple doing their best to keep "small developers" small, since the catch is that in the following year, because those "small" devs exceeded the $1 million mark even temporary, just once, will be disqualified from the Small Business Program for the entirety of the next calendar year. They will pay the standard 30% commission on all earnings from the very first dollar. The emergence of this SBP was due to pressure from looming anti-trust measures anyway, which Apple would have never willingly conceded without it.
