Appfigures: Apple made over $10B from US App Store commissions last year

According to a new analysis of app detectives, more than $ 10 billion – Apple’s US App Store earned how much last year AppFiguresThe

The firm’s estimates indicate that the revenue from the US App Store Commission was more than twice the 2020 and 2024. The Apple’s App Store Commission part was about $ 4.76 billion in 2020, it grew more than $ 10.1 billion by 2024.

Based on the data of AppFigures, US App Store Developers have earned $ 33.68 billion from their applications and games using Apple’s payment system in 2021 and took $ 23.57 billion after Apple’s cut.

Although Apple usually does not break his App Store’s earnings while earning, It released a report in May 2023 Where it says that the App Store has earned $ 104 billion in approximate billing for digital products and services worldwide.

However, AppFigures analysis shows that the App Store has made $ 61.5 billion dollars worldwide in 2022, which has risen to $ 1.5 billion in 2021. From this, Apple has made more than $ 2.5 billion in global commissions last year, AppFigures also say.

It leads to an analysis of appFigures and a significance between Apple’s own.

This can be explained by an important warning found in Apple’s report. Under Apple’s Chart, it says that its “billings and sales” statistics “The App Store is not like billing.” It’s important here.

When Apple wrote his report, the company was trying to show how big the App Store was and how much it was for the overall economy, so it integrated the app store’s earnings for the “billings and sales” categories with revenue generated outside the App Store.

In the report, the Apple has calculated the total income part of an application by the App Store, even if it was purchased somewhere else. For example, if a user buys a subscription on the web Hulu, then Apple spends their time on 60% hulu streaming on Apple devices, Apple gives itself to the convenience of 60% of that user expenditure. (To determine the use, the report rely on third -party sources such as market research agencies to estimate how much used on tablets, desktops or TV vs smartphones))

Apple allows the Enterprises to distribute apps with the application purchase but these are not visible in the App Store.

“The grave is irreparable harm?”

The Revenue of the Apple App Store, which is tested around us, is more relevant in terms of the recent court verdict that prevents Apple from charging 2 27% commission on transactions outside the App Store.

Apple initially tried to comply as a result of a court order FortNeet Maker Fighting with Epic Games Makes changes that do not harm the profit of the App Store.

To do it, Apple gave developers last year Its App Store is a way to apply for exception to the rules so they can add web links to their applications that lead to the outward purchase of customers. However, Apple is charging 27% of those purchases and determines how the website links will appear. (It also includes the use of “horrible screen” to warn customers about the dangers of purchasing outside the App Store)

Last week, a judge Apple There was a “deliberate violation” of 2021 order by collecting fees and creating new anticipative barriers made to outside applications.

This decision forced Apple to Update the US App Store RulesWhich now allows developers to link to other ways to purchase consumers without interruption or commission. From that has taken the opportunity to introduce web payments with several applications Spotify, AmazonAnd PatronThe A small game called emulator Delta is now supporting himself through Patriarch Membership too.

Apple is applying for decisions, Is arguing in the recent filing That this judgment causes Apple to “serious irreparable damage”.

“These restrictions, which will spend a lot of the annual apples, is based on the behavior that has never been judged (and nine),” Apple’s The filing stateThe “Rather, they were imposed to punish Apple for not compliant with the previous state-law sanctions which is illegal itself.”

This argument will probably not work well with the developers, because many believe that Apple should have been reduced to commission only a few years ago, not just for him Small businessmanThe

Analysis of AppFigures also broke the income of the US App Store through applications and games, which produced Apple about $ 6.28 billion and $ 3.83 billion respectively in 2021.

Together, these statistics show how the critical App Store revenue on the lower line of Apple and why it is fighting so hard to maintain control.
