According to the calculator, a game that has 5M installs and earns $1M per year will have to pay Apple $2.37M per year. Worse, a game that has 5M installs and only earns $1 per year will still have to pay Apple $2.17M per year.

It looks like updates can count as a first annual install: A first annual install may result from an app’s first-time install, a reinstall, or an update from any iOS app distribution option — including the App Store, an alternative app mar

*First annual install.* This is the first time an app is installed by an account in the EU in a 12-month period. After each first annual install, the app may be installed any number of times by the same account for the next 12 months with n

I think the real problem is unlimited access to accounting books for any business that has an iOS app. This will affect free apps too, since they now have the potential to offer purchases outside the app store. (Obviously, strategic partner

> I still don’t get why people buy these one off appliances like rice cookers. I can set a timer so the rice is ready first thing in the morning. My Zojirushi can cook a variety of rice techniques, like gaba brown which takes 3.5 hours.
