Apple can be treated differently, but it can not be denied that she knows how to earn money. Often this causes criticism of the leadership of the American company.
The popular in China messenger WeChat has a function that allows everyone to thank the developers of a particular expansion with a monetary reward.
In April, Apple informed the developers of the service that they should disable this feature in order to comply with the rules of the online store App Store. However, a little later, the Kupertinovites changed their minds. Instead of completely blocking the function, thus causing a wave of resentment, Apple decided to earn on it.
The corporation equated this opportunity to purchases inside applications, which automatically means that Apple will receive 30% of each transaction.
To understand how popular translations are in WeChat, it is worthwhile to bring the statistics of the messenger.
So, in the last Chinese New Year in the system was conducted more transactions than in the service PayPal for the entire 2015.
The co-founder of WeChat asked the Chinese government for advice on whether Apple has the right to regard donations as a purchase and take a percentage. So, it is quite possible that the American giant will have to reconsider its decision, or even answer for it in court. Still, the desire to thank the developer is not equal to the desire to purchase this or that software product.
