#3Things to note:
1) The new terms are opt-in
2) The new terms have not been approved by the EU
3) The reason for the disparity is 10 million installs, which exceeds the 1 million threshold to pay €0.50/install. If you charge €1/install then you're paying 50% to Apple for that fee. If you charge €2/install then you'd be paying 25% to Apple because the fee is flat.

Yup - this example is deliberately cooked to create a misleading impression.

#5I can’t say I’m a fan of the pricing model, but the linked tweet makes specific choices regarding the number of installs, which in turn determines the pricing.
The tweet has 10M installs, where each one makes a $1. 5M installs where each one produces $2 in revenue results in a smaller cut by Apple. 20M installs at $0.50 results in a larger cut.

4) This atrocity was written and mandated by Apple
Of course people will still not boycott them. They're no better than Microsoft was in the 90's. Not sure if it comes at that high level of a company or they're not all that different to begin with.

Uh, given the number of $1 apps on the app store, how is it cooked in any way?
It represents a good bit of current reality.

#9And most card payment processors will charge you more than 30% commission if you sell a product for $1. The numbers are specifically picked to make it look bad without providing a clear disclosure.

Does this apply to free apps too?
