The platform cut on app store is outrageous and has been for years.
This is nothing else than a tax.
And because both Apple and Google are adjusted on the same tax rate, this is exactly like a monopoly.
I am sure their infrastructure costs are largely covered at this point.
Developers should unite and strongly ask for a progressive reduction, a few percents each year.
- coronadisaster 6y agomaybe developers should create their own store that would be web-based
- harpratap 6y agoPossible on Android but not on iOS
- choicenotchance 6y agoMaybe perhaps an organised revolution ? All developers of iOS should just stop supporting already existing apps, or move to Android. And users should just know that iDevices are not supported anymore. Only if a rebellion is staged, will Apple take notice.
- stephc_int13 6y agoYou mean web-apps?
- coronadisaster 6y agoI'm talking about an open platform that would make it painless for users to pay for any "app" made by any provider... it could be either a website that aggregates all web apps or a native open-app-store...
- spiderfarmer 6y agoApple also cripples PWA's so that's not an option.

- eru 6y ago> And because both Apple and Google are adjusted on the same tax rate, this is exactly like a monopoly. That's not how monopolies work or are defined. You can argue it's some kind of bad. And that monopolies are also a kind of bad. But not all kinds of bad are the same.
