The people who choose iPhones don't know that they pay almost 50% extra per purchase since Apple doesn't allow apps to show it.

How did you get the 50% figure?

And an extra compared to what exactly? The fee is identical on the Play Store.

username90 probably just used math:

Example: $2 in other app store, $3 in Apple app store.

Subtract 30% from $3 ≈ $2.

$3 is 50% more than $2.
