But what about my banking app! I think it’s only fair Apple take 30% on every transaction I make. After all they put in a huge amount of work validating and making sure my banking app is safe and functional.

Edit: Maybe I am greedy now, but it would be nice if large transactions like say buying a house only would cost me a 15% transaction fee to Apple.



Visa/Mastercard take like 1 or 2%. That's why they cannot compare to Apple...


If they tried to take significantly more, cash would be a lot more popular.

Yet Apple can get away with taking 30% and companies still accept this and push their apps rather than websites.

companies and users!


Visa/MasterCard take like 0.3% the rest of the interchange fee goes to the issuing and acquiring banks.


We just got layers and layers of entrenched middlemen (middle corporations) everywhere


Large transactions are riskier, let’s give them 45%. After all, I’d really hate to see their margins suffer.


I worry about their finances


Who's downvoting this? When you think online sarcasm is so obvious that no-one could believe it, someone's always there to prove otherwise


Maybe because its not really contributing anything new to the discussion?


Think about it this way: without the app, 100% of your savings would be inaccessible, so it would be only fair if apple took 30% of them...
