Apple has introduced its Mini Apps Partner Program, under which developers of “mini apps” can now pay just 15% commission on qualifying in-app purchases, rather than the standard 30%, according to a press release.
So what exactly is a “mini app”? Apple describes them as “self-contained experiences built using web technologies like HTML5 or JavaScript” that run inside a larger native host app. Think of them as services or plug-ins that are embedded within a bigger app rather than standalone downloads.
