- oldmanjay 11y agoA sense of entitlement always fascinates me. Yours isn't as much fun as the variety you can find reading gaming forums, but it's still making me smile. Thank you!

- coldtea 11y ago>Without apps, Apple has nothing. Actually Apple managed to make the iPod a huge success, and the iPhone for the first year too, without any apps. They built a market of billions without any apps. Only then did apps appeared with the first SDK.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoNobody is making money selling phones that don't have apps. Apps are 100% necessary for a smartphone to survive. Apple simply could not have a successful mobile platform without apps.
- coldtea 11y ago>Nobody is making money selling phones that don't have apps. Apps are 100% necessary for a smartphone to survive. Now yes. In the start not. Nobody is making money selling PCs without apps either. Are desktop app programmers demanding a pay cut from PC sales?
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoI was being facetious about getting 30% from Apple. My point is, that they are and always have been assholes to devs, who they need.
- coldtea 11y agoI don't know, as a dev I like their APIs, tooling, market access and efforts to improve their environment (ObjC 2, now Swift) very much, thank you.
