Apple Adds Hiayan Typhoon Relief Page to iTunes Store

Apple is doing its part to help with Red Cross relief for victims of the Haiyan typhoon in the Philippines by adding a donation page to the iTunes Store. Just like previous Red Cross donation efforts Apple has participated, the company is making it easy to donate as little as US$5 and up to $200.

They Haiyan typhoon is one of the most powerful storms on record and has already caused over 10,000 deaths. Along with the horrific death count, the typhoon is also responsible for extensive property and infrastructure damage.

Your donations will appear as charges on your iTunes account, just like music, movies, and apps. Unlike other iTunes and App Store purchases, however, Apple isn't taking its usual 30 percent cut and is passing on the total donation amount to the Red Cross.
