Apple TVApple has a multitude of applications that allow users to stream TV for a number of stations that have signed agreements with the company. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and today we find out what amounts do they collect? those in Cupertino from subscription-based services, these being quite few in number. Although official data have not been and will not be disclosed by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, an American publication claims that the partners who offer subscriptions for Apple TV offers a commission of 15% of monthly sales to the Apple company to have the applications available in the product.
But it's even more interesting to think about Apple's tiers of fees as we enter a world where lots of people are going to be selling Web video subscription products via platforms like Apple's. Whether Apple is charging 15 percent or 30 percent a month, it's giving distributors a much better deal than the 50 percent that pay TV providers usually charge premium networks like HBO. That makes the platform even more enticing to cable channels that are thinking about stepping outside of the traditional pay TV bundle — and it puts more pressure on the cable guys to sweeten the deals they already offer.
The commission charged by the Apple company for these subscriptions is halved compared to that charged for the sale of applications through App Store, but this is normal considering that the number of Apple TV owners is much smaller and Apple needs as much content as possible for it. In this idea, Apple charged commissions of only 15% for HBO Now, Netflix or Hulu Plus, these services being extremely popular, with a very large number of subscribers, so Apple probably earns large enough amounts of money to continue the development of Apple TV in the following years.
