Please, name a few deleted for no reason.

Extremely high risk of what? 400 000+ approved apps is an indicator of extremely high risk, I guess…

Only money to be made.

And getting more then $2 billion paid.

How is that a good source of revenue again? It's the same as Android, only a very small percentage make a descent living out of it. It may be a bit more for the iPhone (for paid apps only because android apps make more on ads on average) but it's still very unlikely you'll make enough money to survive.
- rimantas 15y agoYour math implies that all apps are paid and each is developed by different developer. Both are false. And it is not the same as Android by far.
- ceejayoz 15y agoRemove the free apps, the poorly designed apps, and the one-app-per-ebook spammy apps, and you're left with a much smaller number to divide the major portion of that revenue against.

- rimantas 15y agoWhere did you get those numbers? Apple claims 96% approval rate, you claim 80%.
