New business terms and commissions

Apple has introduced new business terms for developers that include changes to commission rates. Small businesses will pay a reduced commission rate of 10%, while others will pay 17%. The commission rates will also apply to digital goods and services. Additionally, developers can now use their own payment system, but they will still need to pay Apple a commission. A new core technology fee has been introduced, which charges half a euro per active user of the app on a rolling 12-month basis.
