Can you elaborate? My memory is that Apple _charged_ developers to make apps :)

  They still charge those 99$ a year, don't they?

    I think so. But I meant no work contracts and lots of employees.

  Imagine Apple even got paid by developers and not pay them

  To publish something on a feature phone was much more costly, including five-figure quality approvals. The App Store was a true revolution and probably needed new players that were not as entrenched with carriers like Nokia, and Siemens.

    Interesting. Nowdays people put more money to lure devs to their platforms.
