| I'm sorry but who are you to dictate to Apple how it should be running its business? Apple doesn't do loss leaders like some other companies. While other companies are offering free services (not really free - you and your data are the product) Apple sells products/services at a profit. If you consider that evil then all I can suggest is that you don't give Apple any of your money. "Vote with your wallet" as they say. ------ Those payment services you listed only provide the payment end of things. They don't make a giant store that helps users find you in the first place. In case you didn't know, 63% of sales are derived from discovery within app stores ( http://www.businessinsider.com/search-is-the-biggest-driver-... ). People who otherwise wouldn't have learned about my apps if I went solo and used paypal DO discover them because of Apple. In other words we make more money in the end because of the ecosystem Apple has created for us developers. Have you ever actually developed and marketed your own apps? This should be obvious to you if you have. |
