Well, that's what you get when you have a CEO who doesn't care about design in any capacity, and instead apes whatever is "trending" with a side of virtue signalling.
I would expect that level of artwork from a DeviantArt newbie, not Apple.

Yeah they should, but since they most of them are corrupt selfish lawyers, with stocks, they wont.
Thanks, I was about to rant how stupid this art style is.
If only Apple took more care with how they present the apps on the macOS App Store. It baffles me that they have the same list of educational software listed under two separate 'feature' headers.
to show you what I mean.
Well, looks like made by somebody that can't draw at all
But at least he can call himself an artist now, also somebody Apple does employ +1.
I think your math is a little off.
330.000 out of 32.350.000 isn't 10% but 1%. Which is to say that it would mean one in every hundred employees would be connected to the App Store.
Still sounds a bit high - but not as high as one in every ten employees
Also; you don't NEED to have an iOS device to develop for the platform, so that logic doesn't really work.
AND, I would like to know how many of these jobs can sustain the monthly dispenses of these devs over a few years.I think your math is a little off.

But yeah jobs marketing B$!
First the Germans now the UK. This is a stupid way of thinking as it’s based on a Fallacy.
Apples is claiming to itself the efforts of others. It’s delusional. Those jobs are created by entrepreneurs, other businesses that Apple does not own or supports in any way whatever. The businesses pay Apple to be able to reach their customer in iOS, not the other way around. What kind of support is that? In fact the one supporting the App Store are these businesses, these people ... not the other way around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This needs to stop! Govs need to shutdown these claims as they are clearly monopolistic.
Expressions such as App Economy and iOS App economy are based on fallacies. Now one reasons in these terms anywhere. No one talks about software economy, digital service economy, Windows economy etc etc. it’s meaningless.
Apple is acting like a self contained Governement detached from anything else in a democratic society. It’s even unconstitutional in many ways.

Highly unreliable figures intended try and halt the avalanche of antitrust investigations worldwide.
Absolutely. Apple is acting like a company above the digital market, above regulations, above current tech infrastructure ... these are hijacking metrics.
It’s immoral. It’s a joke on third party software and digital businesses acting cross platform, both locally and globally.
Pure market perception manipulation.
EDIT: There is a name for the logical fallacy being played deep here.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc: This is a conclusion that assumes that if 'A' occurred after 'B' then 'B' must have caused 'A.' Example:
I drank bottled water and now I am sick, so the water must have made me sick.
Businesses are putting Apps on the App Store. Some businesses are successful, Therefore the App Store it’s the cause of their success.
Case in case. There is no direct evidence that the App Store (B) by itself is the cause of the success of businesses (A) even if they came after. There is only the evidence that businesses pay the App Store / Share Revenue to reach their customers on the smartphone of choice

I think the main difference is the walled garden protects a valuable ecosystem. suspect if there weren’t native apps going through an App Store with a unified payment system then it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful (in terms of monetary value). Basing this on the much lower success rate of the Mac App Store.
There is of course the perceived value of the security the App Store brings to iOS but really that’s mostly down to the locked down OS, so I don’t believe the App Store holds much value.
I say this as someone who doesn’t think apple should be the gatekeeper with the App Store, btw.
Yeah, it sounds like whataboutism to me. I’m thankful that Apple created my job (I love it!) but I don’t see that as a justification for their practices.
Apple is allowed to act in any, way, shape or form within the law. What do you think Epic did to get North Dakota and Arizona to introduce bills against Apple. Right, they hired lobbyists.
You‘re gonna be attacked for this one.....
No Truth Telling allowed with our friends across the pond.
Apple is clearly scared, & for good reason !
Their complete & total control over the App Marketplace is coming to an end !

Gotta wonder what amount of income generated from an app constitutes as "a job". How many $300/year app developers are included in that 330,000? Probably a lot more than apple wants anyone to know.
While obviously some companies are making money of iOS apps, a huge percentage a developers make chump change. They are also included in the 330K

You are completely right, 1% is correct. I was a bit distracted when I made that comment, I'll correct it.
You are also right that not everybody needs to have an iOS device, I just wanted to illustrate how high a number of 330.000 people would be in the UK.
