Dammit, I was really hoping these new price-points would come in matte black as well…
If they would add CarPlay to the Tesla dash I might pay for it. I still can't stand the Tesla interface.
Not $10k but something like Autocad is $1865 a year, $5000+ for 3 years. I believe this is likely laying the groundwork for full pro apps.
It's a marketing tool to implement impressive discounts.
"Regularly $10,000, today on the App Store ONLY $.99!!!

Definitely in need of a TWO star review, for improper use of 'to' in the last line of the description.
But then how many would buy it and use it on iPad, much less on iPhone? Unless they want a dedicated iOS version that works with their desktop project or sth That a sidecar can’t achieve.
OK so some greedy enterprise developers will be happy. Now, my question as a consumer is can I put a cap on how much I pay for an app in the app store? Fair is fair. I don't think I even want to see apps above that limit.
Not sure those hugely expensive single-license apps should be made available on the public App Store, but better be in-house apps.
If a single license costs 10K, then a customer with 3000 employees will probably not use VPP to purchase that but do a deal with that developer.
LOL that's the one I thought of too. Now I Am Richer with multple choices of backgrounds of the most exquisite diamonds
LOL I would just wish I had $10k free money to pay and ask for a refund
Or this will be the Ultimately Verified Checkmark

Ha! Tempted to try this but what if Apple refuses to refund it? I won't be able to purchase any Apple products next year. 😭
Something semi-bespoke that:
* Took several person-years of work to develop
* Is only of interest to a few customers working in a specialist niche so will only sell in small numbers...
* ...but can save those customers more than $10k in time or expenses.
(E.g. any bit of software that could replace a $100,000 bit of specialist equipment).
Bear in mind that a developer would normally deal with such customers directly, but it's a pain in the neck to distribute software for iDevices other than via the App store.
Oh, and scams, too - of course. But only respectable scams from respectable companies like those who charge $$$ for their logo printed on a cheap sweatshop T-shirt and then expect the authorities to deal with the resulting plague of counterfeiters.
This is basically the original NFT
