Apple iOS Misc

Apple's App Store is doing quite well and by extension its developers are doing well too.

Since its establishment in 2008 the App Store has generated more than $120B in developer earnings - that's without Apple's own 30% cut of the revenues.

The App Store is growing faster than ever, generating more than $30B in developer earnings in the last 12 months alone.

The revenue figures for developers' earnings include downloads, in-app purchases and subscriptions, meaning some developers might earn even more from in-app ads.

So your saying 2 years of updates is long enough but apple chargers which are 7 years old and stop working and that's not good? U don't make any sense. At least u can keep iphones up to date for 5 years instead of 2 years. So android users change the...
