They’re being really scummy about squeezing every last penny out of developers

This is a refreshing change of pace, since previously they were only really scummy to all of their consumers.

Why the hate on apple? Their phones are superior, people with android are plebians with substandard devices…why the hate?

Their App Store polices are actively hurting their developers and users and stifling innovation and inflating prices.

Tell me more…what should they change

Fixed fee based on app sales. Payment processing should be inline with other payment processors.

Well the value they add is more than just payment processing. Platform development, Xcode development, api development, etc, etc

Not to mention fixed fees on cc transactions mean that it costs more than 3% to run small transactions. I imagine that apple has negotiated heavily on these but it’s still a real cost that a developer that has little volume leverage would need to pay.
