I don't know what is so funny about this. Their monopoly allows them to tax 30% of every sale. I am an app developer and I absolutely charge more to my end users because of that 30% - after all I have to pay for servers and employees and that number would absolutely be lower if not for the 30% tax.

It's laughable because the market for iOS apps has driven the price as low as it can go already. You cannot go lower. The average price for an app is FREE, and for the paid ones it's usually one or occasionally two dollars.
Well I guess that's a different story, I am running a subscription service for about $10 / month.
