Apple on Monday alerted members of its link affiliate program to a sharp reduction in their take from apps and in-app purchases, down from 7 percent to just 2.5.
The change will take effect May 1 around the world, Apple explained. The rate will stay at 7 percent for all other Apple media, including music, movies, books, and TV shows.
”We will also continue to pay affiliate commissions on Apple Music memberships so there are many ways to earn commissions with the program,” the company noted.
It’s not clear why Apple made the change other than to retain more profit from App Store sales. Under the program, websites including AppleInsider can claim a small percentage of the proceeds from linked apps without affecting how much developers earn.
