About the pricing
“Apple iPhones now have a sizable user base in India. So far, only a few developers had the access to development tools and platforms due to high pricing. Last year they also dropped the fee cut from 30% to 15%, which is another incentive to developers. The latest move by Apple creates a new room for innovation on iOS in India,” said Faisal Kawoosa, chief analyst and founder of techARC.
Kawoosa said, “The move to allow developers to charge from a wider range of amounts will be beneficial for segments like gaming, which need more in-app purchases.”
In a statement, the company highlighted that the “App Store’s commerce and payments system offers developers an ever-expanding set of capabilities and tools to grow their businesses, from frictionless checkout and transparent invoicing for users to robust marketing tools, tax and fraud services, and refund management.”
This is definitely a piece of shocking news as the company has been facing criticism for a long period of time. This criticism was mainly about its policies and restrictions. Apple’s commission is just 30% on app purchases which has also received criticism from people like Elon Musk.
