If you are an iPhone user, or even a new user of the iOS operating system, and you are trying to buy a game or even an application from the Apple Store, sometimes you find that its price is higher compared to the Google Play Store. This matter, of course, is not in all applications and games, but the question remains; Why? It's the same developer and the same game, so why does the price increase for Apple users? In this article we will seek to answer this question.
Why pay more on the AppStore?
The main reason for this is due to the policies and commissions imposed by Apple, which force developers to do two things:
the firstIncrease the cost of subscribing to their apps on the App Store.
The second: Preventing users from subscribing to services or purchasing from within their applications so that the developers of those applications do not fall under the laws of Apple and therefore pay a commission to the iPhone company.
Apple commission
As we said, developers resort to increasing prices or disrupting the purchase process within their applications on the App Store because of the Apple commission that they impose on those applications, as Apple collects 30% of each purchase. As for subscriptions, the commission is 30% for the first year and 15% for the following years, Where Apple believes that any developer who wants to earn money from iPhone users, they must pay a large additional cost for this privilege.
For example, in a communication application, you will find that you will pay $ 14.99 for the gold membership when you subscribe through the website, but when you subscribe from the application on the Apple store, you will find the price of the gold membership is $ 29.99.
As for an application like Netflix, he decided that he was no longer willing to pay Apple's commission, and for this he disabled the registration process in the application, and when you clicked the Help button, you will find a note of its contents, “If you are not already a member of Netflix, please join and then return later to the application.”
Of course, it is intended to join, you go to the web browser and subscribe through the official Netflix website, and then you can use the application on the App Store, not a Netflix-sized application, only those who made that step to avoid the Apple royalty, other popular applications decided to revolt against the Apple royalty, such as Amazon and even Spotify And others. And of course this has caused Apple recently With many problems.
Google royalty
Some may say that the Google Play Store also imposes the same royalty, which is 30%, but the difference between the two companies is that Apple obliges developers to use its own payment program in any in-app purchase, unlike Google, which charges a commission only for those who depend on its payment system and leaves Developers are free to use other payment programs, and this matter excludes those applications from paying the specified commission to Google.
Another thing, for the Apple App Store, it is forbidden to refer to the possibility of subscribing for lower fees elsewhere, and Apple's instructions impose on developers not to list alternative prices or promote other prices outside the store, unlike the Google Store, which allows developers to tell users to subscribe through another place without a problem.
What are you doing ?
If you are one of the iPhone users who want to buy applications and games and feel that their price is too high on the App Store, you can resort to the best solution, which is to see those prices on the official developer's website, and there you can make a decision based on the price difference.
Point of view
Android may own about 86% of the smart phone market in the world compared to 14% for the iPhone, but Android is an open system that users can download their applications directly from developers or via other application stores other than Google Play, so it is difficult for Google to force them to pay more as Apple does ; And another point, which is the purchasing power, there is an old myth that says that Android users tend to download applications for free than to buy them, unlike iPhone users who tend to pay and buy applications more because they are often higher income earners.

Thank you for the effort  
Amounts * amounts
This is the app
It is more expensive to subscribe to Google services through the iPhone than to subscribe through the browser
Apple, the company with a mobile phone
Unconvincing words
Simply because on Google you can take it for free, so that the cost is reduced. As for the iPhone, it is necessary to download it. However, sometimes it does not work, so most of the people have to buy
Apple heard I would not answer any problems without problems, I mean, if I had an iPhone, I would be a cash cow
I did not read the post, but I am certain that it is a justification, medicalization, and fabrication of excuses that God has revealed from the authority of Apple to Apple, it is clear that this is the site of drumming and you will not hear anything but the sound of the drum !!!!
Nice question: Something comforting and carefree, why are you following it?
Anything that tires your psyche, I leave
This site is drumming and the person is drumming. Why watch them? Your time is precious and important, so do not waste it on these things
Really, great that you did not read it, and knew all its content 😊
🤪
Unfortunately this is a bad thing
Sometimes you find some applications free on the PC and on Android, but on the iPhone, they have money !! 🤓
Like ankiapp though, it's a nice app and has a lot of praise
In fact, this act of Apple may be described as greed, and it is true
But in reality, everyone seeks profit, Apple or Google, and this is a legitimate right.
But the difference remains on the method and this is the focus of controversy
Apple tends to provide services with subscriptions and give you the desired service and quality without ads or privacy intrusions, but rather an intrusion into your wallet
Google, in contrast, is that there are services that tend to be free of charge, such as YouTube and Google Drive, or completely free services, such as Google Maps, but the profitable return is the amount of stored information, advertisements, and the intrusion of privacy.
And you and your choice
The time will not come when you are told to take it for nothing
Even iPhone Islam needs the refund and the right to request support
thank you all
Free words tell you because Apple users have money, so they buy more, on the contrary, they buy because there is no alternative, nor if there is a certain payment, and then how do you say high income and you want XNUMX% of the users to buy the mobile phone, once and for all, do not try to deny this issue because everyone knows
My answer to the last question ... given that they are often higher income earners.
