If I were an app developer who relied on in-app purchases, I would probably care a lot more. But as a consumer, I don’t, and I suggest the only reason consumers have to care is because app developers (understandably) want lower fees and are negotiating terms via PR.


You should care because in the end you are the one paying the 30%.


Actually I pay 100%. I don’t care how that 100% gets divided up; all I care is the actual price that 100% adds up to.

Are developers going to lower prices of in-app purchases if Apple’s cut goes down? Doubtful. But if they do I might buy more.


No because I don’t pay for loot boxes, gems, and other useless consumables.
