Apple we’re not taking advantage of iOS users in China

Apple denies that it’s taking advantage of the large number of iOS users in China and overcharging them when they have in-app purchases, reports Chinanews.com.

There have been some customer complaints that subscribing to the same services —  including online videos, and calling for a taxi through apps — costs more through iOS than Android in China. Many enterprises and app developers blame the 30% App Store commission they pay Apple as the reason for the price difference, according to Chinanews.

However, Apple says that pricing rights for in-app purchases are controlled completely by the developers. If the apps are providing material services, such as selling products or providing a taxi through Didi Chuxing, no commission is charged at all, according to the tech giant.
