Does Apple charge 15% for each dollar up to a million plus 30% for each dollar above a million, or when you cross a million (in a year), do they suddenly jump to 30% of everything? IOW, if I have earned $999,999 so far this year, I have to pay Apple about $150,000. If I then make another $1 sale, do I owe a few cents more or another $150,000?

And once your rate goes to 30%, does it stay there the following year, or does the whole system reset to zero each year?

15 percent on the first million in a year 30% for everything after.

Subscriptions are 15% for renewals (and maybe for all subs).

If your pulling in more than a few million a year from apple, and your not "gaming" or gaming the system I hear they are fairly open to negotiate. YMMV

You’d owe the few extra cents.

You stay at 30% if annual proceeds continue to hit $1M/year. If not, you requalify for 15%.
