誤把美元當元 蘋果方面給開發者發7倍工資

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.

負責iOS應用程序開發的中國開發者今天上午收到了他們的工資，居然比預期的要高出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.

據幾位中國開發者稱，蘋果方面似乎犯了一個大錯。正如這些開發者們在新浪微博上所說的，他們今天上午拿到的工資相當於應得報酬的7倍。

The reason for this is that, apparently, Apple has treated US dollars (USD) as renminbi (RMB).

原因很明顯，蘋果錯把美元當作人民幣發放了工資。

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.

過去，蘋果在與應用程序開發者結算時使用美元作爲計量單位，在與國內開發商結算時需要將美元轉換爲人民幣發放。這意味着此次蘋果給所有開發者發放的工資相當於以前的7倍。

In response to this matter, Sina Digital also asked some familiar developers, and they said that they had not encountered this situation.

在這個問題上，新浪數碼也詢問了一些熟悉的開發者，但是他們表示沒有遇到過這種情況。

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.

對於蘋果的應用程序，開發人員最終可能佔收益的70%，而蘋果則佔30%。據報道，蘋果將爲每位開發者制定一個支出週期，開發者通常在每月初收到前一個月的軟件收入。

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.

與此同時，蘋果爲開發者提供的資金有最低限值，當開發者的app收入達到/累計達到支付要求時，蘋果會經常向開發者提供詳細的收入報告。

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.

蘋果公司管理層尚未對此做出迴應，此次爲國內開發商錯用美元支付工資，蘋果公司最終將如何處理尚不清楚。
