The revenue at stake for apple is likely almost nothing. As soon as a company (not app) makes over 1 million in purchases via apple, then they start paying the full amount. So, apple is losing 50% of the revenue from companies that dont make at least that much. Which is small potatoes to apple.
- jmull 6y agoAccording to this App Store revenue is around $50B and developers affected by this[1] make ~5% of that revenue, or around $2.5B Cutting that in half, we're talking $1B+. Indeed, that's small potatoes for Apple. But then, everything is small potatoes compared to iPhone sales. But far, far bigger than even a big PR stunt. Orders of magnitude bigger.
