Read this on the WaPo yesterday. It’s a good column, though that’s true of most everything Robinson writes.

@ilja Brilliantly put.

Tim doesn’t use iPhone SEs with two year-old batteries. Tim doesn’t use Apple watch 3 with his current phone. Tim doesn’t try and use iTunes Music Store album purchases on his HomePod via Siri. And he sure doesn’t depend on Screen Time daily.

It’s happy path or no path at Tim’s Apple.

@gruber I’m wrong. The fee is, as @stroughtonsmith said, for everyone.

That stinks.

“Core Technology Fee — iOS apps distributed from the App Store and/or an alternative app marketplace will pay €0.50 for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold.”

@gruber Let’s see if I have alternative stores in the EU right…

If my app is free, no change. I pub on Apple store.

If my app makes 2€ or more (esp much more) per user per year and my scale is large enough, I consider making my own store.

If I have a freemium app that depends on a VERY small % of whales for the vast majority of my revenue, I’m screwed if I go to a 3rd party store. Apple’s got me.

Know anybody in that last category? 🤔😉
