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

Apple announced that its App Store ecosystem facilitated $1.4 trillion in total billings and sales during 2025, representing growth from $1.3 trillion the previous year. Notably, 90% of these transactions occurred without Apple taking any commission, though the company still earned significant revenue from the remaining 10% of digital goods and services. The figures highlight the massive scale of the App Store economy while addressing ongoing regulatory scrutiny over Apple's commission structure.

Background

Apple's App Store has faced increasing regulatory scrutiny and legal challenges worldwide over its commission structure, with critics arguing the 15-30% fees on digital transactions are anticompetitive. The company has been gradually adjusting its policies in response to pressure from regulators and developers.
