That’s not answering my question. Do you think cellular and ISP providers deserve a cut of hardware sales?

Yes I absolutely think they would pay more than 0%. Apple could have done that. Phil Schiller advocated for it in 2011. But Tim Cook and the bean counters won.You think that Epic wants to pay >0%. That’s adorable
I’m asking you what do you think. Based on this comment, what you think is whatever Apple chooses to do.
This reminds me of when Apple put out one of those jobs created PR pieces where they basically took credit for any job growth at places like UPS and FedEx.
The epic ceo asked to negotiate on the commission with apple and they said NO
the problem is simply this apple are not changing with the times in today’s society and this is what your finding out
There are developers that ABSOLUTELY want your email address. They don’t even want to accept the email address from hide my email. “Oh, we just want to be able to contact you, we don’t use it for anything else.” Then, when they fall prey to a cyberattack, “See, if you didn’t give us your email, we wouldn’t be able to let you know that someone else has it now!”
Likely far beyond their expectations! I bet they never expected people that hate how their products work to purchase their products and say how much they wish they were different!
Yeah you think that’s it
people suddenly purchase an iPhone and wonder why you can’t sideload & have 3rd party app stores on it
Then who’s fault is that then?
So, if Apple doesn’t fit into today’s society, then what would happen is that Apple would, year over year, continue to lose revenue, marketshare, tank their customer satisfaction scores and, eventually, cease operations as a company. It’s a VERY effective process that has been in use since before the early 2000’s and has never failed to tank a company that doesn’t respond to their customer base, whether they’re users or developers or retailers.
How are people downvoting this comment? Are you really saying a company who set up the means to sell for other companies - shouldn't get a share? Literally all markets have this setup.
Again Apple’s rules and regulations regarding
IOS have not changed with today’s society
It’s not the 2010’s anymore times have changed in relation of the smartphone in today’s society (this is not about customer satisfaction it’s about how its viewed in today’s society) and that’s the problem that they have
They have changed. Just because you don't want to admit it doesn't mean it isn't true. The government taking away many consumers' preference for a closed ecosystem isn't going to change anything other than hurt regular people.
"Sorry your retirement account got drained when you were socially engineered to sideload a scam app grandma, but it was better for society that Spotify didn't have to pay Apple the way they don't pay artists, and that a bunch of MacRumors forum posters who wanted to sideload apps didn't have to use Android. Enjoy the soup kitchen though!"
And, if you want to make money, but NOT as a mobile developer, there’s a big wide world waiting for you! Be warned, though, commissions/profit sharing, etc. are a big part of a LOOOOT of different businesses. So, if a person’s idea of doing business is that, “I must have a 99% cut in every business deal I make!” they may find that, in general, individuals/organizations like being recompensed for access to their customer base. Probably as much as they themselves do.
Absolutely! If Comcast can get that deal signed, then more power to them. It’s how business works! PG&E wants to enter into an agreement with Apple for iPhone power, set up the meeting, folks, and get that deal made! Just leaving money on the table otherwise.
Aeron, you KNOW Netflix would be nowhere near as comfortable to watch without your chairs. Better get your lawyers working as, once you let Netflix know, they’ll be more than amenable to your terms. Herman Miller, get over here, we think your negotiating position will be stronger working with Aeron… share the wealth!
Nothing prevents any of these companies from entering into agreements with the others. And, if they can get it, great! If they can’t, well perhaps their bargaining position wasn’t as strong as they thought it was.
Most of that is just pure rent seeking. And thank goodness it’s not unfettered right to rent seeking infinitely as we would be screwed by now.
No they haven’t the same rules and regulations existed from the start on iOS
Today’s society is very much different from
2010 in relation to the smartphone that is why there was no issues back then with Apple’s rules and regulations but about 15 years later there is because society is very much different in terms of the smartphone
It’s very disingenuous to claim that individuals will get rinsed of all their income and end up homeless & in a soup kitchen in relation to court cases & governments challenging apple
Times change
Seems like an obvious answer... It's the fault of the person who bought an iPhone without doing their research about something that's been true for more than a decade.
Not disingenuous - it's reality on Android. Coming soon to an iPhone near you!

App and in-app purchase revenue
Despite having a smaller global market share, iOS and its App Store consistently generate substantially more revenue than Android and Google Play.
- Total Revenue: In 2024, the Apple App Store generated an estimated $103.4 billion, more than twice the $46.7 billion from the Google Play Store.
- Per-User Spending: In 2023, iOS users spent an average of $10.40 per app per month, which is over seven times more than the $1.40 spent by Android users.
- Purchase Value: The average value of a single purchase is higher on iOS. One study found the average in-app purchase was $1.00 for iOS compared to $0.47 for Android.
There have been a few; they all have failed. People don't want too many choices.
