(MacRumors iPhone)

Apple today emailed its iTunes Affiliate Program members to inform them that its commission rate for all apps and in-app content will be reduced to 2.5 percent on May 1, down from 7 percent, globally. Apple will continue to offer a 7 percent commission rate for all other iTunes content, including music, movies, TV shows, and books. Apple will also continue to offer a one-time 50 percent commission on Apple Music subscriptions. Ouch! Apple just slashed the affiliate commission on apps and IAP. This will impact lots of great sites/apps. pic.twitter.com/dbv7CboMX3— David Barnard (@drbarnard) April 24, 2017 Through the iTunes Affiliate Program, websites can link to and promote App Store apps and receive a percentage of the sale in return.Tags: App Store, iTunes Affiliate Program Discuss this article in our forums
