Appfigures estimates that U.S. App Store revenue from commissions more than doubled between 2020 and 2024 .

In 2020 , Apple ’s share of App Store commissions was approximately $4.76 billion , growing to over $10.1 billion by 2024 .

Apple doesn’t typically break out its App Store revenues during earnings but published a report in May 2023 where it said the App Store globally generated $104 billion .

This argument won’t likely go over well with developers, as many believe Apple should have lowered commissions for everyone years ago , not just for small business developers. Appfigures’ analysis also broke down U.S. App Store revenue by apps and games, which generated Apple approximately $6.28 billion and $3.83 billion , respectively, in 2024 . Together, these figures highlight how critical App Store revenue remains to Apple ’s bottom line, and why it’s fighting so hard to retain control..
