IIRC it’s about $100 or so per year. Basically hobby money just to make sure anyone submitting apps for review means it.

The Play Store only charges you $25 when you register, $100 a year is for Apple

That $100 per year is required just to keep apps installed on your own iDevices, let alone submitting them for review.

That hasn’t been true since XCode 7. You can side load apps onto your own devices from XCode with a free developer account, you only have to pay the fee to submit apps to the App Store.

You cannot "keep apps installed on your own iDevices" because without paying that fee, you have to re-sign and reinstall your apps every week.
