Is it? In the grand scheme of things, I would argue not. My partner, for instance, knits. Cheap hobby, right? Nope. Specialist needles, yarn, etc. all adds up. She certainly spends more than $100 per year on it. How about photography? Or fi

You'd need a separate certificate, which at the moment will cost considerably more than $100. Also is your objection the $100 or merely paying Apple?

Why is it a "legitimate" criticism. That's just you opinion. Doesn't make it any more (or less) valid than the question I'm posing; why is the developer entitled to Apple providing hardware for testing? Do people pu
