You don’t think a 30% tax on users for the privilege of using an AppStore app and Apple’s abuse of that are problems? But somehow the AppStore affects government abuse of iPhones?
The AppStore would have never been a problem had Apple not been so greedy and draconian about it.
- mullingitover 4y agoIt's weird how the app store started out from nothing with even worse terms, and they were enthusiastically accepted by developers and consumers alike. Under these greedy and draconian terms, the app store became broadly embraced by developers, to the point of being called a monopoly. However, with this success Apple's reaction wasn't to abuse its market power by increasing its fees, but instead it reduced fees for long-term subscriptions and for developers with under $1M in revenues.
