    This would be an interesting product if it offered sound cancellation
    Have you heard about passive noice cancelation? It works.
    If the fit is right, in ear headphones wich seal well, will seal the sound too. And if there is no noice because of those cables (sometimes the headphones with cables could have too sensitive cables which transmit noise), then you can sleep really well.

    So instead of charging 30% for payment processing, Apple wants 27% for doing literally nothing at all.


    LOL  Low Energy IQ or Troll Master Level? which one is DerpVader?

    Apple - makes the hardware, the OS, the development kits (scary! they charge a HUGE $99 a year to be in the program /s) host your app, access to a massive, dedicated customer base. 

    Why don't you built something and not charge anyone for access to your hard work. See also 'capitalism' 
    Rent seeking is anti-capitalism. Apple should clearly be paid, but they shouldn’t be rent seeking either. Whether or not Apple crossed the line in to rent seeking is highly debatable, but capitalism requires being paid for your work and competitive pressure to counter rent seeking.

    My own opinion is that Apple either hasn’t crossed that line in to rent seeking or just barely. However it isn’t a good look. I think they need to try harder to look a little less greedy while taking their earned rent.
    I wonder what would you say if your employer (or client) told you: “Your salary (payment) is now reduced by x%. And we are only  helping you to be less greedy”

    Some people STILL want to cry "get an android if you don't like it" when they don't realize the the Playstore has the same issue and these states are going to apply any possible regulation to BOTH stores. Just fanboys thru and thru. Only cry about regulation when it comes to Apple.

    What would you say if your local gas station wasn't regulated? "Just use electric cars if you don't like the outrageous prices gas station owners would surely raise their prices to, or good old fashioned horses!"
    So why then politics speak only about App Store? 
    Oh, maybe it's because it is more difficult to make a case when you have not only one but two or several stores.
    And don't forget consoles...

    Your example with gas stations is ridiculous. There are so many different brands who offer gas. Well, at least in Europe. And you have an app where you can find the cheapest one. And. yes, I just go  there. If I don't like one (price) - I find another place (gas station).
