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.

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

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...

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
