- heavyset_go 6y agoIt would be great for developers and users if there were real competition in app distribution. That way people can decide if the 30% fee is truly worth it compared to the competition that might be more efficient or offer more value, or that might charge less.
- 8note 6y agoYo ucant say whether it's apple giving that value, or other developers
- FDSGSG 6y agoOf course it's Apple. The same app will sell much better on iOS than on Android.
- Fnoord 6y agoCorrelation does not imply causation. If you consider Epic, they take only what was it, 18% of the sale. But they're not allowed to compete on Apple's platform...
- dwild 6y agoYou realize how your argument could apply to any monopoly right? They were able to get 100%, they have to provide significant value to reach that ;). Sadly it's more complicated than the size of their market.
