Apple's insistence on setting the terms of the sale is also problematic and all the more reason to support another store. I absolutely loathe IAP. The last thing I want to do is download an app and guess what parts are going to get unlocked when I pay for something. I'm in favor of having a paid upgrade path. And I'd love to see a trial option that wasn't tied to a subscription. And I think app prices are too low. It's another case of having made a few bad initial moves and then pushing the whole industry that way. The top selling app on the Google Play Store is a slot machine. This is not good for society.
- scarface74 5y agoLet’s stick to the crux of the matter - people don’t want to pay for stuff. If an alternative App Store set a minimum price and sn upgrade path, not many people would buy the apps. The only successful model so far has been subscriptions for productivity apps. For arcade quality games, the streaming services have a chance and Apple is subsidizing non slimy games via Apple Arcade.
