It's 15% now for most developers, right?

Not really - it's 15% if you register as a small business and it changes to 30% once you hit $1M in revenue.

That's probably technically 'most', but it's not the large sector that matters.

Also 15% is still quite high.

And it's been 15% for recurring revenue after the first year.

That 15% includes the 1-3% creditcard processing fee. They also take care of VAT and multi currency for your customers.

Plus providing the infrastructure for users to download the million of apps and updates. The tools Apple provides to even develop for their platform, like XCode and all the SDKs and APIs to even make apps. And many other things Apple provides.

That 15% does not include VAT, it is taken out after.

The 30% is like an inverse volume discount.
