At this point all the large companies have already cut deals with Apple.
If you are a small player or a startup, just think that all your purchases will need to go through the IAP and 30% of that belongs to Apple.
If you model your business and cash flow with that in mind, they you be in a much better position to continue doing business on Apple devices .
If you think that your business will not be profitable giving 30% to Apple , then shut it down now and rethink it - because your customers will be on Apple devices and sooner or later - Apple will force you to include IAP.

- wodenokoto 6y agoBack then we thought it would be the carriers that would be the arbiter of mobile services and not the handset manufacturers. I remember, before the iPhone, 3 was selling unlimited YouTube streaming (amongst other 3rd party web services) over 3G for a fixed price in at least some European markets. The major carriers in Japan were already arbitering all sorts of services through each carriers own version of the World Wide Web. Back then, Japans mobile market was seen as being maybe a decade ahead of the rest of the world.
