By that logic, should Apple charge something like $1/user/month to allow companies to publish apps and run software on iPhones?

- afavour 5y agoHow is that the same logic? Amazon does not charge end users for allowing services they use to run on AWS.
- vultour 5y agoAWS charges for bandwidth. Should Apple start charging the developer $1 for every download?
- shkkmo 5y agoThat seems a bit price gougey given how much bandwidth costs...but sure, as long as other AppStores are allowed on the platform, that's fine.
- supergirl 5y agothey could charge $0.09/GB like S3. that would be interesting actually, because it's not exactly free so developers need to optimize for it
- hnlmorg 5y agoYes they do. They charge you compute time, data egress and storage costs. They charge you for premium support, DNS lookups, and even just having an unused IP reservation. AWS has an extensive and diverse model for charges. So much so that it's very difficult to accurately calculate the total cost of a new project ahead of deploying it due to all the hidden costs. If Apple adopted the same model as AWS, people would still moan.
