I won’t buy an iPad: ten years later

Well, as far as the iPad, people complaining about the “wall garden” and the 30% cut doesn’t affect people who are actually buying the product or developers making billions from the App Store.

Also, if either were keeping developers from innovating, you should see a lot of successful, popular apps outside of Google Play.

The fact is, that 80% of phones out there can escape a walled garden and the 30% cut, but still anyone interested in getting visibility or making money chooses to be on Google Play.

How many people whining about the 30% cut on HN actually have a successful product that would be more successful if it weren’t for Apple’s fee?

I heard your opinion and I strongly disagree with it, but I'm not going to be drawn into that debate right now.
