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

The U.S. App Store surprisingly generated over $10 billion in revenue for Apple last year, marking a nearly 100% increase compared to its commissions from 2020 to 2024. Meanwhile, app developers took home nearly $23.57 billion after Apple's cut, while the company itself reported more than $27 billion in commissions globally—a figure that conflicts with Appfigures' analysis. Apple faces criticism for its strict commission rules and recent court rulings that allow web-based purchases outside the App Store, prompting the company to appeal the decision despite the move potentially causing significant harm.
