I just don't understand why this savings account interest rate keeps going down, but the Prime lending rate has been steady for several months. It sure feels like a bank wanting to make more money.

And many developers are only paying 15% commission. Considering there are very real costs to duplicate everything you get from Apple for that 15%, I can't see any small devs trying to save that by opening a web store. I still remember paying 50-60% to companies to do less services. Let's face it, this Epic lawsuit was all about how the very large companies can make even more money, it was never about helping small to medium size developers or consumers.

Hmmmm, if a company would rather shut something down than sell it, that means there isn't any financial reason that TikTok exists today. A for-profit company would take the cash rather than lose everything. I wonder what value TikTok has to ByteDance and the Chinese government then? All that data on American citizens and a strong propaganda tool maybe?

I've never heard a single consumer say they wanted more app stores on the iPhone. Only mega million dollar companies who want to make more profit themselves. Why do politicians keep trying to "fix" something that isn't broken, which will actually ruin the iPhone ecosystem? As a small developer adding more app stores is my worst nightmare.

Maybe I'd use it more or even carry a balance - then they'd make some money - but at 27% interest with excellent credit, no thanks.

Amen, it's the highest interest rate of all my cards, so I don't dare carry a balance. And my credit rating is also nearly 800 so I don't know why my interest rate is so high.
