I wonder if more apps will go for, say 50¢, instead of free + $1.00 IAP.
I miss the pre-IAP days.

#13Genuine question: is there a market for a $10,000 app?
I'm sure somebody could market some kind of "exclusive club" app. Virtual Fyre Festival or whatever.

Isn't this IAP model better for both users and makers?

#1510x the number of price points is nuts. Then again, at this point, Apple is a treasury operation that also sells phones and computers.
Braeburn Capital indeed.

#16I’m not an App Store seller so I have no idea what this means. You can’t just pick any number that you want to sell your app for? You have predetermined prices set by Apple?

Maybe something like a Bloomberg terminal on the phone?
It does seem like quite a reach but I think there are a few legitimate niche markets for that price point.

Maybe not the app itself, but I could see for example, a business wants to purchase $10K worth of advertising on a platform through the their ad channel app.

#19Actually what the motivation in having price point ending in .99? Why can't I simply price my app at, for instance, 10? I understand there is a pricing psychology in play and I faintly remember it has something to do with accounting but I can't recall the specifics. Can anyone shed some insight?

Correct, only pre-approved price points are allowed.
