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