> ...I think my $2000 payment to buy my iPhone was more than enough of a fee to make this possible. Being deeply ambivalent about this issue, you've just now most closely articulated my position. Thank you. I have no idea what a reasonable App Store fee should be. But 30% seems excessive. Further, I despise the entire payments racket. I'm paying MasterCard, Apple, Stripe, whomever to use my own money. Grrr. That said: I absolutely want to always use something like Apple Pay for everything. Touch ID, plus secure enclave, plus token exchange (vs plaintext), etc. I don't care if others want to use something other than Apple Pay (and whatever the Android equivalent is). There should be options. Further: App Store needs a rethink. Apple's recent move to charge less for low volume revenue is backwards. If apps were physical things, shouldn't the cost go down as volume goes up? So I'd rather Apple focus on raising the asking price for apps. Especially for smaller indie devs (publishers). Or be more flexible. Or...?
