Please. The money Apple makes from their 30% cut is a tiny fraction of what they earn from hardware sales. It supports the operation of the App Store and makes some profit but it's never been their key moneymaker.
- judah 13y agoFrom the keynote: "We have paid out $10 billion to developers in the app store, $5b just in the last year" That would suggest a few billion dollars in app store revenue for Apple. That's nothing to spit at. Apple doesn't want those billions of dollars to disappear into HTML5 apps where they get not such cut.
