Apple doesn’t even have 50% of the smartphone market.
It sounds like you’re an App developer so perhaps it would be more honest to just explicitly state that you want to make more money rather than claim youre on the verge of tears?
- echelon 6y ago> Apple doesn’t even have 50% of the smartphone market. It looks like they command between 33% and 46% of sales in the US per quarter. [1] That's a lot of people. Many of them use their iPhone as their only computer. > It sounds like you’re an App developer so perhaps it would be more honest to just explicitly state that you want to make more money I want freedom back. I have projects that make zero money that I want to run. I also don't want to have to have an Apple SDK license or write it in their chosen technology or be required to follow their stringent UI guidelines because my audience is niche and doesn't care about that. My time on this earth is too limited to jump through more hoops. I also don't want to have my app deleted because I'm protesting them. Dealing with Apple is like living under an authoritarian regime. We don't have any choice but to deal with them because of the power they wield.

- Apocryphon 6y agoGiven that the majority of paying customers are on iOS, it's certainly a strong incentive for app developers to target that platform.
