On the morning of August 17, actor Bai Mofei Weibo Aite Apple CEO Cook said that Apple’s mobile phone App Store is a rogue software, and it looks too ugly.
She downloaded a piece of software in the Apple App Store, but after purchasing the membership service, it couldn’t be used normally. Then she asked Apple customer service and was rejected many times.
The software customer service said that Bai Murphy’s money was given to Apple, and Apple would take a portion of the money when the settlement was settled, with a ratio of 15%, and the remaining 85% would be given to the software company. Therefore, if Bai Murphy wants to get a refund, the software can only refund 85%.
In fact, it is no longer an industry secret that Apple takes a cut. This operation is called “Apple tax” by netizens. Because of the “Apple tax”, for a long time, Apple device users are usually more expensive to buy memberships and more expensive to open app subscription services.
However, under the global anti-monopoly wave, the “Apple tax” has been resisted in some countries.
In August 2021, South Korea approved a bill prohibiting app stores such as Apple and Google from forcing software developers to use their payment systems and charging commissions of up to 30 percent. After the bill is signed, South Korea will become the first country in the world to limit the application store fees of tech giants such as Google and Apple.
