That’s physical distribution. Digital distribution costs almost nothing.

  That's only if you don't include the cost of actually building the digital marketplace and the free developer tools and the actual devices.

    Which you pay for w/ your $99/yr. dev fee.

      Xcode is free without the dev fee. And a years worth of app reviews for an active developer costs a lot more than $99.

        Ugh, you need to pay the dev fee to get your app in the app store, which is the thing we're talking about. Good grief.
        • dnh44 6y ago
          Yes and it cost apple money to perform app reviews each time the dev updates the app. It's a trivial amount of money for access to the marketplace.

            Yeah it’s almost as if devs getting their apps onto iOS makes it more valuable and dumps profit onto Apple’s balance sheet.
