Apple is marketing their hardware product and the platform, not your app.Yours is just one app out of hundreds of thousands, soon to be millions.

If Apple is eating your businesses margins, and you gain nothing from operating on their platform, then what's the point? "I get no profit from my customer, and this may even be costing me money because I'll never recover the cost of iOS app development and maintenance, but at least I got to pay $100 for the privilege of being app #823,465".




Can you please show me an utopia where you are not fighting against thousands of competitors?

What is this sissy attitude?

It's hard to make a living it's hard to make money. You are no paying for the privilege you are paying for access to paying customers.


That's not the point in question and you know it. Stay on topic please.


The developers who got their app featured might disagree with you. It is a bit of a lottery, but not more so than, say, sending out press releases.
