Apple is introducing new commission rates for in-app transactions for developers in the European Union, effective October 1st. These changes are a response to the Digital Markets Act and replace the previous Core Technology Fee with a Core Technology Commission. The commission rates vary, with a standard 15% fee for most developers using Apple's in-app purchase technology, and higher rates for those using alternative payment systems or linking out of the app. Developers participating in specific programs will receive discounted rates, and apps distributed outside the App Store will face a flat 5% commission.
