Apple touts $1.4 trillion in App Store billings and sales, 90% without a commission

# Apple's App Store Hits $1.4 Trillion in Sales, Mostly Commission-Free Apple reported that its App Store generated $1.4 trillion in total sales last year, a modest increase from the previous year's $1.3 trillion. The headline-grabbing stat: 90% of app developers don't pay Apple any commission on their sales, meaning only apps selling digital goods (like subscriptions and in-app purchases) trigger Apple's fee. For everyday users, this means most free apps and app updates won't add to your bill, though popular subscription services like Netflix and Spotify still do.
