Apple Inc. will reduce the current 30-percent cut in revenues of small-sized app developers to 15 percent starting next year.
The new commission structure dubbed App Store Small Business Program applies only to app developers with annual revenue of less than $1 million in 2020.
Apple said the new rate would help small business owners survive the effects of the pandemic and spur innovation.
The savings give small businesses and developers more funds to invest in their operations, expand their workforce, and develop new, innovative features.
According to Philipp Stollenmayer, an indie game developer with 20 titles in the App Store, the program provides a "big opportunity for the indie gaming spirit to become truly mobile.”
Stollenmayer's latest game, “Song of Bloom,” won an Apple Design Award in June 2020, while his first game,“What the Frog,” launched in the App Store in 2013, won a German Multimedia Prize.
