Brussels, May 2 (Reuters) - Apple Aapl.o Will Extend a Newly Introduced Core Technology Fee to Ipados Apps Downloaded on Its App Store After the Operating System for Ipads Was Added to a List of Key Services Subject to EU Tech Rules, the iPhone Maker Said on Thursday.
布魯塞爾，5月2日（路透社）——蘋果 aapl.o 這家iPhone製造商週四表示，在iPad操作系統被添加到受歐盟技術規則約束的關鍵服務清單後，將擴大新推出的核心技術費，使其適用於在其App Store上下載的Ipados應用程序。
Apple in March Announced a Core Technology Fee (Ctf) of 50 Euro Cents per User Account per Year for Major App Developers Even IF They Do Not Use Any of Its Payment Services or Its App Store, With the First 1 Million User Accounts Exempted From the Fee.
三月份的蘋果 已宣佈 主要應用程序開發者每年向每個用戶賬戶收取50歐分的核心技術費（Ctf），即使他們不使用其任何支付服務或其App Store，前100萬個用戶賬戶免除該費用。
The Ctf Is Part of a Set of New Charges Linked to Changes to Comply With the Digital Markets Act (Dma) Which Requires Apple to Open up Its Closed Ecosystem by Allowing Apps Developers to Distribute Their iPhone Apps Directly to Consumers Instead of Through Its App Store, Among Other Obligations.
Ctf是一系列新指控的一部分，這些指控與遵守《數字市場法》（Dma）的變更有關，該法要求蘋果 打開 除其他義務外，其封閉的生態系統允許應用程序開發人員直接向消費者分發其iPhone應用程序，而不是通過其App Store分發給消費者。
"This Week, the European Commission Designated Ipados a Gatekeeper Platform Under the Digital Markets Act. Apple Will Bring Our Recent iOS Changes for Apps in the European Union to Ipados Later This Fall, as Required," the Company Said in a Blogpost.
“本週，歐盟委員會根據《數字市場法》將Ipados指定爲看門人平台。蘋果將在今年秋天晚些時候將我們最近對歐盟應用程序的iOS更改帶到Ipados，” 該公司在一篇博客文章中說。
"the Ctf Will Also Apply to Ipados Apps Downloaded Through the App Store, Web Distribution, and/or Alternative Marketplaces," It Said.
它說：“Ctf還將適用於通過應用商店、網絡發行和/或替代市場下載的Ipados應用程序。”
The Company Also Said Small Developers With Less Than 10 Million Euros ($10.7 Million) in Global Annual Business Revenue Will Either Pay No Ctf or a Capped Ctf During a Three-Year Period.
該公司還表示，全球年營業收入低於1000萬歐元（合1,070萬美元）的小型開發商將在三年內不支付Ctf或有上限的Ctf。
Developers With No Revenues Such as Students, Hobbyists, and Developers Who Create a Free App Without Monetization Will Not Be Charged the Ctf.
沒有收入的開發者，例如學生、業餘愛好者和開發者在沒有獲利的情況下創建免費應用程序的開發者，將不被收取Ctf的費用。
Currently Only Developers Whose Apps Do Not Surpass One Million First Annual Installs per Year, Non-Profit Organizations, Government Entities and Educational Institutions Approved for a Fee Waiver Are Exempted From the Ctf.
目前，只有應用程序每年首次安裝量不超過一百萬的開發者、獲准免費用的非營利組織、政府實體和教育機構才能免除Ctf。
