Netflix pays reduced percentages to Apple. Been this way for a long time from what I recall. Other big companies negotiate the percentage as well.


Netflix removed In-App Subscriptions on iOS years ago: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/12/28/netflix-no-more-itunes-... .

Now that Apple is under anti-trust scrutiny, Netflix recently added a link to their website just a few months ago: https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/25/netflixs-ios-app-now-has-a...


Doesn’t matter if they get a better rate than market.

The precise number doesn’t change the stated dynamics or situation at all.

That there are app developers that get preferential treatment just demonstrates the arbitrary power Apple has over choosing winners and losers


But big companies love these kind of barriers, it prevents small competitors from being able to exist. Besides, Google takes a cut of things in their store, Epic from theirs, and if facebook made the metaverse work, you can bet your ass they'd try and take a thirty percent cut. They would never fight against that, it's literally free money.



I guess you have to claw back those billions you are lighting on fire somehow. Solid business plan. What could go wrong.
