Exactly this. If IAP was a different cut, all apps would go "free" overnight and require an IAP purchase to unlock most of the app.
Apple could try something like giving "consumable" IAP a different cut, but I'm sure devs would still try to game that too (e.g. having a consumable that unlocks the app for a set amount of time, rather than a permanent unlock).
- wmf 6y agoBTW if Apple is protecting customers so much they should ban consumable IAPs because they're being used to drain money from people via addiction.
- lilyball 6y agoConsumables are used for more than just freemium games.
- scarface74 6y agoI really wish they would. I would be okay if games had to all be paid up front and there was upgrade pricing.
- rstupek 6y agoMost apps are free already and use ads to generate revenue of which Apple gets $0.
