This is correct.

App devs hate "paying" the 30% cut, but often aren't smart enough to realize that they make more on iOS than Android specifically because it's a high-trust environment and people trust that Apple has their back.

There's a reason most of us app devs make most of our money on Apple devices.



Except there are markets where Apple is hardly present, so this doesn't hold, as those money making apps on iDevices are mostly from tier 1 countries.

I assume most app vendors would gladly get some money from those countries as well, if they want to grow their user base.


They also happily pay 3+% for charging a card with stripe. And more than happy to fork a few percent for some accounting / VAT handling.

That’s included with the App Store.
