Apple’s App Store facilitated $1.3 trillion worth of app sales and billings in 2024, and the company stated it took no commission on 90% of that total. The figure comes from a new Apple-commissioned study, released as the company works to portray its platform as profitable for developers and fair in its fee structure.

A U.S. court denied Apple a stay on a ruling that requires the company to stop charging developers for payments made outside the App Store through links in apps.

A three-judge appeals panel rejected Apple’s request to pause an April 30 order banning the company from charging a fee on in-app iPhone transactions processed outside its once-exclusive payment system in a two-page decision issued late Thursday.
