That's absurd. The app store is not a service to developers but to consumers that Apple uses in order to have a working ecosystem.

- simion314 6y agoAs a consumer you have no choice to use a better AppStore, or to grab your apps/movies/music and move to a better provider. So IMO Apple is doomed to be regulated, maybe it is not to late to be more fair with the developers.
- IncRnd 6y agoI absolutely agree.
- NovemberWhiskey 6y agoI don't really understand the argument. The App Store can be a service to both developers and consumers. That's typically what a store is. Product manufacturers accept that they will sell more of their product in stores, enough to make up for the margin added by the retailer, vs direct sales. Consumers accept to pay more the convenience.
- IncRnd 6y agoIt's only indirectly true that the App Store is a service to developers. It's a very straightforward argument. Apple has the App Store in order to keep consumers. That it helps developers is a side benefit. Apple would drop the store if didn't retain consumers on the platforms.
