    Businesses don’t make themselves cheaper for consumers even if they get a chance to cut their overhead. I just don’t see businesses ever do that. Profits “rise” and they circle-jerk about how great they’re doing.

    I’m more interested in getting access to FOSS, indie apps, and apps that Apple is too afraid to be associated with, such as emulators and apps that feature adult content.

      The whole point of this exercise was that a bigger cut of the app revenue goes to the developers though.

      You know, since the phone manufacturer and payment provider actually doesn’t do any of the development work on the app…

        No, but they do gate keep what can/can’t be installed on their phone quite aggressively.

        That’s why there isn’t a single torrent client for iOS, for example.
