In 2019, $400 billion worth of physical goods were sold through the App Store. By them, Apple means buying things on Amazon, food delivery, taxi, etc. Despite the impressive turnover of funds, the company claims that it does not charge a commission on such transactions. According to her, unlike digital purchases or subscriptions, here she cannot guarantee either the quality or whether the consumer will receive his order at all.
Recall that even without the revenue from the commission from physical sales in 2019, the App Store’s revenue amounted to $ 50 billion.
Schiller says in 2019 App Store drove $400 billion+ in transactions of physical goods, so food delivery, Amazon, Uber/Lyft, etc.
Judge interjects. “Billion with a b?” It’s a big number, and Schiller confirms Apple doesn’t take a cut of that.
