　　4. Why does Apple insist on taking commissions for China's rewards: The total scale of "bounty" makes it salivate

　　Recently, Apple has revised the iOS development guidance document to clarify that users' voluntary rewards and tips are also in-app consumption and must face Apple's 30% commission. Apple's move has caused huge controversy in the Chinese Internet industry. Why did Apple insist on implementing it at the risk of offending the market? According to the latest news from foreign media, China's mobile Internet rewards are huge, which makes it difficult for Apple to give up. According to QZ and other foreign media reports, Apple has already taken 30% of its revenue to the consumption behavior within iOS mobile software, which is also commonly known as the "Apple tax" in the industry. Although the outside world has complaints about the Apple tax, it is not angry. (Source: Tencent Technology)

　　7. The Xinhua Dictionary App can check two-word media for free every day: Deviating from user thinking

　　According to June 13, the Xinhua Dictionary App, published by Commercial Press and revised by the Institute of Languages ​​of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, was launched recently. Since its publication in the 1950s, the "Xinhua Dictionary" has been accompanied by the enlightenment education of several generations, and has attached many traces of the times and cultural significance. The app has won the attention of netizens as soon as it was launched. But netizens found that the free version can only be checked for two words a day, and if you want to continue using it, you have to pay 40 yuan. The paper version of Xinhua Dictionary is only 19.9 yuan in an e-commerce company. In fact, it is normal to pay, especially for classic authoritative reference books like Xinhua Dictionary. In addition, it is also sincere to invite Li Ruiying, the former announcer of CCTV's "News Broadcast", to read it aloud. But in today's Internet field, such a payment model seems to be too 20th century. (Source: Beijing News)

　　Comment: The basic logic of the product model in the Internet era is user-oriented: first meet user needs, and then build a paid model. However, the current model of Xinhua Dictionary only considers how it charges itself, and does not consider what users who spend traffic to download can get.
