He writes "97% profit margins". How is that possible if AppStore takes 30%?

EDIT: This seems to be outside AppStore.

It isn't an App Store app, he's taking payment on his own site and delivering PNGs to an email address.

Not sure how I feel about the article. Kind of reads like those "I got stupid lucky this one time, so can you!" fluff pieces at best, and at worst is just further advertisement/marketing for the icon pack.

> I got stupid lucky this one time, so can you!

If you publish often, act immediately, be transparent, etc, etc. Luck is at the intersection of preparation and opportunity.

As an Android user, I am completely blown away by two things: #1 iPhones got this only in 2020, when Android had this since the first version, #2 iPhone owners are willing to spend $28 for a icon pack, a very nice one, but still an icon pack.

Not sure how far you read, but the "lessons learned" at the bottom abstracts very well from the necessary but not sufficient "I got lucky" condition. I found it informative.

Technically it's still not available to iPhone users. The actual method of changing the icons is a really nasty workaround that needs to be performed for each and every application. Instructions: https://icons.tr.af/how

Don't get me wrong, I do love my iPhone, but this isn't something most people (myself included) will have the patience to do.

There is nothing on this blog that I can see except text and some links at the bottom, yet if I have JS disabled I just get a black page.

JS to display text. Brilliant.
