#2The headline seems to be:
> New program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year
This is great and will really help smaller developers, 15% is much more of a palatable tax than the 30% they had previously.

#4This is good for smaller developers, but it doesn't really seem to solve the actual problem? All the people who are willing to go to war with Apple and have teeth are making way more than that…

I'd hope they've learned from tax law the world around and only apply the 30% rate from the second million...?
Edit: just read the sibling comment... that seems... unnecessarily complicated and non-reactive to short term changes...?

> If a participating developer surpasses the $1 million threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year.
> If a developer’s business falls below the $1 million threshold in a future calendar year, they can requalify for the 15 percent commission the year after.
So they take 15% commission from first million and 30% from later sales until developer falls below million in a calendar year.

The way it is written, that seems to be the case. I imagine -since it makes really more sense, for people doing "a bit over 1M"- that it works more like tax brackets: 15% on your first million in revenue, 30% after that.

#9This is great news for many indie devs, but I think this is only a start.

Only on sales beyond the $1m, also its calculated after the apple compensation, so its on total sales of $1.15m then you pay 30%.
