$300k is not the developer net income, in the example


Then it’s $200K after taxes. Though now we are discounting the many things Apple can write off and that people worth 8 figures and up can write off and get away with, with a $300K income person or $200K after taxes. It wouldn’t be the same net income regardless.


Other than perhaps taxes, they would be the same. So perhaps it's a $45-$55 equivalent?


The thing is:

- You have people whose security depend on you

- You say this is a top priority and of ultimate importance (people's lives depend on it)

- You make $300K gross income over a year

- And you dedicate $50'ish for an entire year to contribute into solving the issue

It does look like pocket change to me.


Yes, I agree...I just hate to see revenue used out of context. I can sell $5 bills for $4 and rake in the revenue :)
