There are very few free apps. Most of apps are paid with ads or external subscription. And Apple wants cut there as well.


Apple doesn’t have an ad network outside of the little money it makes from ads on the App Store itself.

Also, Apple may want a cut of the subscription revenue but most companies who have significant subscription revenue, don’t go through Apple’s subscriptions payments.


Apple doesn't get a cut of ads within apps. A free app with ads doesn't make Apple any more then the $99/year for being a developer
