The Apple Tax Is Rotten
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoThis piece is not new ground for Hacker News, but I find it notable that it appeared in the mainstream press, for a general audience.
- estranhosidade 5y agoThe problem is not the Apple tax. It's apple app store, they should be able to charge the commission fee they wish. The problem is not allowing other app stores/sideloading on iOS.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoBut isn't that what makes it a tax? I'd be happy to pay a price in exchange for Apple reviewing software for quality and security, but that's a service I can choose to either buy or eschew. Whereas a tax is something I'm forced to pay.
