According to the Epic v. Apple decision:
* The vast majority of app store revenue is from games.
* A small number of "whales" spend almost all of the money -- presumably rich kids and adults, and people with an unfortunate gambling addiction.
- intrasight 4y agoThis is why I find it so baffling that there are so many devs/companies chasing the golden ring of app revenue with sincerity when clearly is a very warped marketplace. What types of useful, non-scam apps do people look for and buy that lead devs to believe there's some opportunity? Why create it as an app and deal with all that BS when you could just make a nice web site/PWA?
- earthnail 4y agoSome products are designed to make use of the iPhone as a form factor. Then you can’t make a PWA. But yes, the market is warped and Apple has a lot of work to do to make it a better marketplace. This is a step in the right direction though. Maybe more steps will follow.
