- jpttsn 6y agoI wouldn’t be so sure. How many man hours go into developing ARKit, Foundation, Swift etc.? How many developer accounts would be required to fund all of that plus the R&D for the ideas that didn’t work out? I think the $99 is more of a filter, like a captcha, for developers that mean business.
