“The team has been hard at work this week and we’re now happy to announce that the number line has even more numbers available in it.”
So, never having bothered with Apple hard-/software I am a bit confused... A developer can't just set a price for something? But then out of the first 10000 natural numbers, Apple semi-arbitrarily select a set of 900 "known-good" numbers that work well for prices? Like, as if the other numbers are somehow bad prices? If you charge someone $7,43 for something, the ghost of Steve Jobs will start haunting you? That's, l…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
It would seem crazy for an ad agency to implement that through an IAP where Apple takes $3k off the top (I assume that 30% rate still applies here?) when you're dealing with high-paying clients that could be told "go to our website to purchase"

When selling a product, we were doing A/B tests with price points and so we had results that the same product was selling better if it was priced at £7.49 per month rather than £6.99. For some reason people subconsciously think that 7.49 is smaller than 6.99 or things like £5 wouldn't sell much but £5.99 would be going off the virtual shelves in an instant. Crazy.

One reason I'm aware of is for foreign customers who are buying in foreign currencies. As a developer, I don't want to set prices in every currency, so they translate the price grid for me which I found useful.

I don't agree with most of what Musk does; but if this is the kind of innovation that requires a team of highly compensated tech employees and warrants a press release; something is actually, seriously wrong with efficiency in companies like Apple, and maybe he's actually right that Twitter, or many companies, could run better on far fewer employees.
