Bro legit question, why can't all the app developers pull their app from apple store. Within no time apple will change its tune

Would you pay for the missed income then? Who would?

Apple only has this power because its users are a major source of income for developers.

The 30% fee developers keep complaining about has been in place from the start, so they really should have protested the app store at launch. Now they're too dependent on app revenue for any kind of protest.

Apple recently became the number one smart phone manufacturer in the world (not just NA), and have 61% of the US market.

Nobody with a brain is pulling out of that.
