This is akin to saying "PC manufacturers make $200, Microsoft makes $100 and app developers get $5 on each PC.
I've spent literally thousands of dollars for PC software. Bought a copy of Vegas Pro 11 last night (yes, just for home videos. And to tie into this story, it's because my VP 9 won't work with the latest Quicktime update), and yet another Steam game. It is endless.
On the smartphone, however, people have been acclimated that anything great than $0.99 is too much money. It's bizarre. I'm not agreeing with Bray -- in fact I haven't even read the article -- but it is bizarre seeing all of the people defending the various players in the industry. Apple makes enormous profits. Far more profit than hardware makers have ever historically made.
