"The commissions charged by the App Store are very much in the mainstream of those charged by all other digital marketplaces. In fact, 85% of apps on the App Store are free and developers pay Apple nothing. And for the vast majority of developers who do pay Apple a commission because they are selling a digital good or service, they are eligible for a commission rate of 15%."
"In the end, and as I've pointed out before, even some of the company's critics levy similar fees on sales through their platforms, which means it isn't a matter of fee/no fee, but a question of how much fee is legitimate for Apple's storefront, or any storefront, to charge."
"The litigant at one point claimed Apple made $15 billion in App Store sales on costs of around $100 million, though those costs seem to ignore research and development, OS development, security, payments, and associated investments Apple makes in its ecosystem."
