Consider making apps for something else; shockingly alternative mobile platforms exist. You aren't entitled to put things on their App Store, you know.

- grezql 8y agoThere are just 2 OSes in the mobile market. One is a cesspool, so that leaves me with AppStore
- MichaelApproved 8y agoHow do you think they keep it from being a cesspool? You think it might have to do with the people they hire to manage it? People they pay with the fees they collect? It also shows that not being a cesspool isn't necessarily ready. They deserve to be compensated for that effort.
- grezql 8y agoAppstore had 12 billion USD revenue. So around 3.6 billion to hire app reviewers, server, office etc? Right...
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoYou forgot shareholder value.
- guntars 8y agoThen that’s what you’re paying for.
- philjohn 8y agoSo it sounds like, from a dispassionate "it's just business" viewpoint, they've priced it perfectly.
- sincerely 8y agoGood thing we don't need to stop at that viewpoint :)
- TomMarius 8y agoWhat if the other one isn't a cesspool because of high fees - that filter it? What if that's what people actually want from iPhone and App Store and is the reason people prefer Apple? How is it fair to Apple - since it might be their competitive advantage?
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoThey're both cesspools.
- seppin 8y agoTheir fee for preventing it from becoming a cesspool is 30%. Sounds reasonable to me.
