David Pierce Tried a Bunch of Android Phones and Then Bought an iPhone Again

The real goldmine isn’t that Apple gets a cut of every App Store transaction. It’s that Apple’s platforms have the best apps, and users who are drawn to the best apps are thus drawn to the iPhone, Mac, and iPad.

@daringfireball I think a key aspect here is customers versus suppliers. Apple treats their customers well and their suppliers roughly (to the benefit of itself and its customers). Apple sees app makers as suppliers, they provide the apps that Apple vends to its customers. App makers don’t see themselves as such, they see themselves as customers, and that is the cause of a lot of friction.

In reality they are partners, and both parties need to recognize that.
