I tend to agree with you, but Apple doesn't want to leave that pile of Benjamins on the table! And AFAIK, what Apple is doing is legal.

There should be the iPhone price and the Android price. Just charge iPhone users more.



Apple should not be entitled to any transaction that happens on the phone. They don't get a cut of money I move through my banks app. Anything I buy on the Amazon app. Do they get 30% of my water bill I pay? Again if something is being bought through the app store, like a game, an app, etc sure. But if your app is about a service that exists completely beyond apple, they should get nothing. Imagine comcast asking for 30% because it happened between your internet provider and an online store.
