As its iPhone sales slip, Apple has been touting its growing digital-services business as the engine that will keep profits up. But there may be a catch. Apple currently pockets a generous commission on all subscriptions and other purchases made on iPhone apps. But a brewing backlash against the companyâs cut, which ranges from 15 to 30 percent, could undercut the app storeâs profitability just as Apple is counting on it most.
