One of the primary complaints is that the 30% commission charged by Apple on in-app purchases creates an uneven playing ground for digital goods that compete with Apple ones. For example, Japanese firm Rakuten, which owns Kobo e-readers and books, said this extra cost made it hard for its e-books to compete on price with Apple Books products.
