    See the core tech fee for developers that want the new terms. It’s not zero fees on third party stores, it’s 50 cents /month per install over 1 million users.

      You are saying this as if 1M users is something that just happens overnight. This is a huge number, and there are very few non-profit generating apps which have that kind of reach.

        Also it is 1M users annually, i.e. just in the past 12 months. A significant detail.

          It does not matter how significant or insignificant the detail is. Imagine developers had to pay Microsoft every time their app was installed on Windows.

            Replace “Windows” with “Windows Phone”.

            Again, it is not every time at all. Its after 1 MILLION first-time installs (per user, not devcie) in the last 12 months. This is an incredibly large number of installs!

              Replace “Windows” with “Windows Phone”.

              Why would I? “Others do it bad too so Apple is justified in being cunts”?

              And even if you must insist on this ridiculous argument

              And I don’t care at how many million they put the limit, any limit is too much and a gross overreach of what they should be allowed to do.
