Microsoft wants to push Office for iOS and asks Apple to lower its commission

Beijing December 12 morning news, according to the US technology news website AllThingsD reported, informed sources, Microsoft is working with Apple to launch the iOS version of the Office for negotiations.

Negotiations centered around Apple's 30% share of application sales and in-app purchases. Microsoft believes that 30% of revenue should not be shared with Apple.

Microsoft plans to provide an iOS version of the Office application for free, but users need to purchase Office 365 to edit the document. According to the rules for in-app purchases, Apple will take 30% of sales.

Microsoft believes that providing the iOS version of Office makes iPad and iPhone better, so it deserves a discount. Apple does not agree with this.

Neither Microsoft nor Apple commented on the news.
