If a developer was charging $2.99 for their app, after 30% cut, they get $2.09.

To get the same amount after the reduction to 15%, they need to charge $2.47.

Apple offers price points at $1.99 (Tier 1) and $2.99 (Tier 2). It does not allow developers to set arbitrary prices.

How do you suggest a developer manages this? Should the developer cut the price down to $1.99, taking home $1.69, and take a 20% pay cut on their total revenue? Or will you continue to begrudge them for not cutting the price, and increasing their total revenue by 21%?

Do you recognise that Apple ($123 billion in quarterly revenues) app store policy is the exact reason why you don't see any of that 15% discount trickling down to you, and not greedy (< $1MM annual revenue) developers who are trying to gouge you out of your money?
