Apple wants to reduce the 30% commission it takes from streaming video services from the App Store

Apple TV

According to the latest financial results of the company, iPhone sales seem to be beginning to cease to be the main driver of the company, at least in light of the drop in sales it has experienced throughout the year. The Cupertino Boys they want to try to compensate for that reduction in sales, increasing the number of Apple TV devices that it sells, along with all the services associated with it, such as streaming video services, fundamental for this device and without which, a large part of its usefulness would be lost.

According to sources related to Apple's future plans regarding the App Store, the Cupertino guys They plan to reduce the percentage they take from each monthly subscription, from the current 30% to 15%. Currently in the App Store we can already find some applications that have seen how the percentage has been reduced by half, after the client has subscribed to the service for more than a year.

A few days ago, we talked about a new rumor that claimed that video streaming services that were compatible with the new TV application, which Apple presented in the last keynote on October 27, would reduce the amount they pay Apple for each subscription, from 30% to 15%. Apparently and as reported at the time,  Netflix was not very interested in this application, and as we could see in the presentation of this application, Netflix did not appear anywhere, while HBO and Hulu did.

But of course, to Apple is not at all interested in starting to get on Netflix, the only streaming video service available in the world and with the largest number of users, hence it has had to "invent" a new formula to compensate Netflix without seeing the duster by having to rectify again once He had made a wrong decision and with which he had the most to lose.
