Developers sue Apple over $99 annual fee, mandatory pricing increments of $0.99
At least $100 million a year?! (Assuming 1 million of the 20 million registered developers account are paying).spice-boy said:You guys are really too much. Always seeing every story through Apple's eyes and never considering in this case a small developer trying to get their business off the ground.
Let me turn this around, "What's $99 to a corporation valued at 1 Trillion dollars?"

I remember the days when Apple announced these policies and rates more than 10 years ago. Developers couldn’t believe that they only pay 30% fee to sell apps vs 50% to 60% others were charging.

Nilay is a moron. I don’t know how he became a tech writer. The headphone jack is gone the way of floppy drives, optical drives, and every other obsolete tech. Honeslty, I can’t wait until wireless charging is as fast as wired charging so we can get rid of all ports on iPhones.tmay said:

I agree with most of your statements and all of your general sentiment, but one point of content I have is the whining about the Pixel 2. I've seen a lot of bemoaning over its loss. While Google's HW sales isn't even in the same ballpark as Apple, they do have plenty of mindshare.gmgravytrain said:Hardly any whining about the Google Pixel 2 missing the audio jack.
The comments and rationalizations why the 3.5mm analog headphone jack should never go away are amazing… and depressing… and pathetic.

This is the problem that Apple runs into all the time, standards that are out of date, solves it with their own particular mix of, well everything, and then media complains about "fragmentation" because Apple has created a new defacto standard, or worse, new device category. Obviously, Google wants to be able to capitalize on their own standards creation, but to do that, they are going to have to cut the lifeline to "vanilla" Android OS. I hope that Google does that!
Don't make me list all of the examples of obsolete standards that Apple has "murdered" simply because they added nothing to Apple devices
Okay, one.
FM radios.
If it was such a big deal, Google would have said something about it during the announcement of the Pixel 2, when it would have been easy to take a cheap shot at Apple. They didn't. Nobody gives a shit about FM radio anymore. Heck, I don't even know if the Pixel 2 has a working FM radio at all. It surely can't use an earphone as an antenna.
