Wow, that's a disgustingly hostile move by Apple to force developers to implement a dark pattern in their app and try and gouge as much money as they can from the user and the developer.<p>Apple platform developers really need to start educating Apple users that it is ultimately them that ends up paying that extra 30% Apple tax for absolutely no reason.
I'm not sure where he's get expensive from: 3% is entirely in line with payment processing costs.<p>As for the other stuff, yeah it seems fairly dickish but at the same time they've clearly stated they're working on APIs to make it require less work.
