Device price is sufficient compensation for the value delivered by the entire iOS developer ecosystem.
If a user wants to specifically avoid this 'ecosystem' and have a direct relationship with the app developer, such user should be allowed to run the app without Apple's consent, permission or even knowing.

- bandergirl 3y agoCome on that’s a lazy comeback. It’s obvious they have more Korean employees than Californian, I don’t need fact check. Having direct factory access (read: own) further reduces costs.
- Andrew_nenakhov 3y agoIf Apple feels the price should be higher to justify the costs, they should raise the price. If Apple is saying that they are selling a phone but do not give their customers full freedom to do whatever they want with the device, it is not sale, but lending, and Apple should come clean about it.
