Apple is reducing the commission it takes from standard App Store in-app purchases and paid app transactions on Taiwan’s iOS and iPadOS storefront. Starting October 31, 2026, the rate will be 26%, down from 30%, following discussions with Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission.
Outlets report that the change is tied to regulatory talks with the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission and focuses on the “standard” commission rate for Apple In-App Purchase and paid app transactions. MacRumors adds that Apple has adopted the 26% commission approach elsewhere, citing Japan and the European Union.
MacRumors also reports that developers do not need to sign updated terms by October 31 to receive the reduced rate, while the other summaries provided emphasize the Taiwan commission reduction and its regulatory context. Overall coverage aligns on the timing, the before-and-after percentage, and the regulator involved, with additional comparative and procedural details varying by outlet.
