"I think it would be a big win for independent developers targeting Apple platforms, and by extension a big win for Apple, if the App Store revenue split used a tiered rate."
It's interesting to see someone give Apple advice on how to make a "big win" financially. They're literally the biggest winners financially of any company in the world right now.
- bsaul 12y agoWell, maybe Apple became that successful by also listening to their customers.
- ceejayoz 12y agoApple's history has a lot of successes stemming from them ignoring stated preferences from customers. Ditching the floppy, a phone without a hardware keyboard, refusing to build netbooks, etc. As the probably apocryphal Henry Ford quote goes, "if I'd asked people what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse".
- bsaul 12y agoI know those stories, and yet they switched from motorola to intel back in the days, they created a larger screen iphone which proved to be a best seller, and they've recently announced that ios 9 would be a "hardening" release with no major new breakthrough features. I think we shouldn't confuse marketing studies ( which they may not like), with customer feedback.
