But if your app is free, then there is no charge for those services. How does it make sense that theit provision only costs Apple money if your app costs >= 1 cent?
- etchalon 12y agoBecause Apple is willing to eat the cost for the benefit of having a free app? Every free app in their store is one more reason for you to buy an iPhone. Paid apps, while also adding to the ecosystem, do not offer the same value to Apple. It's also just plainly logical. You can't charge people to give something away. You can charge money if you're helping them make it.
