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.

The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation wrapped up its districtwide Jogathons last week with a lot of excited students and teachers. Even in an unusual year, the Del Mar Union School District community was able to raise a record-breaking $665,000 for STEAM+ programs for next year during their eight schools’ Jogathons.
The students were rewarded with a fun Jogathon experience in their PE classes with inventive PE teachers building obstacle courses for students to race through. Students also logged over 11,000 hours of active minutes independently doing everything from hiking to dance to playing pickleball. School principals offered up rewards for students reaching fundraising goals which resulted in principals working from the school roof, doing Tik Tok dances and dying their hair.
