Chinese developers that have worked on an iOS App development have received their payment this morning, and it's seven times higher than they expected.
负责iOS应用程序开发的中国开发者今天上午收到了他们的工资,居然比预期的要高出7倍。Apple seems to have made a huge mistake, according to several Chinese developers. As the developers said on Weibo, they got paid this morning, seven times more than they should have.
据几位中国开发者称,苹果方面似乎犯了一个大错。正如这些开发者们在新浪微博上所说的,他们今天上午拿到的工资相当于应得报酬的7倍。The reason for this is that, apparently, Apple has treated US dollars (USD) as renminbi (RMB).
原因很明显,苹果错把美元当作人民币发放了工资。
In the past, Apple used US dollars as a unit of measure when it settled for App developers and converted to RMB when it was settled for domestic developers. This means that all developers now have a full seven times in revenue.
过去,苹果在与应用程序开发者结算时使用美元作为计量单位,在与国内开发商结算时需要将美元转换为人民币发放。这意味着此次苹果给所有开发者发放的工资相当于以前的7倍。In response to this matter, Sina Digital also asked some familiar developers, and they said that they had not encountered this situation.
在这个问题上,新浪数码也询问了一些熟悉的开发者,但是他们表示没有遇到过这种情况。For Apple apps, developers can end up with 70%, while Apple accounts for 30%. It is reported that Apple will have a spending cycle for each developer, and developers usually receive software revenue from the previous month at the beginning of each month.
对于苹果的应用程序,开发人员最终可能占收益的70%,而苹果则占30%。据报道,苹果将为每位开发者制定一个支出周期,开发者通常在每月初收到前一个月的软件收入。At the same time, Apple has a minimum amount of money for developers. When developers' app income reaches/accumulates to meet the payment requirements, Apple will often provide developers with detailed income reports.
与此同时,苹果为开发者提供的资金有最低限值,当开发者的app收入达到/累计达到支付要求时,苹果会经常向开发者提供详细的收入报告。Apple officials have not yet responded to this call, and it is not clear how Apple will eventually deal with the misuse of US dollars for domestic developers.
苹果公司管理层尚未对此做出回应,此次为国内开发商错用美元支付工资,苹果公司最终将如何处理尚不清楚。
