> consumers end up paying more for the apps because the app developers have to increase their price to cover Apple's cut.

I don’t think so. When we determined our app’s monthly price we have A/B tested several price like $5/month, $8/month, $15/month. And we have chosen the one that we earned most (It was the expensive one). If the Apple’s cut will become 10%, we won’t change our price because would earn less. Therefore, Apple’s cut won’t change most of the apps’ price.

Nice to know, so they can happily charge 95% from your app?

Oh no, they should close the App Store where my business lives and we should return to iPhoneOS 1 era.

When we returned to iPhoneOS 1 era, all of us should just develop PWA websites without dealing with 30% cut.
