This is kinda alarming. Dictating companies how to design their software. While 30% is a high cut, 15-20% is justified. They should profit off the product they made after spending years on r&amp;d. There has to be a sense of appreciation for both sides, developers as well as Apple,(reply>), @TopTierDiscordMod the boot loader is locked. pretty hard to run an alternate os on an iphone,(reply>), @TopTierDiscordMod no, wait for the EU to make em do it,(reply>), @Luke Hawkinson if you don't like it make your own OS,(reply>), Right.. Let me put it a different way. They design and build a computer. And write the os. Making an estimated profit of 60-70 % off of every single device sold. (Some estimates put the profit even higher)<br>Then demand to be paid for you to have the privilege to run applications  on your computer. And demand that the developer pay them for the privilege to develop applications for it. &lt;most people would end up  in jail if they did such a thing.&gt;Whether or not any apps are sold the dev still pays for the sdk license. Apple has been raking in money for almost 20 years this way. Commissions and license fees are normal however they could have eased up on the their fee system years ago and they refused. Actually their fees got worse  If they had it probably could have been avoided.,(reply>), You're not discovering some hidden plot, the regulation is clearly and openly described as one meant to force how companies act.
