Why can't Patreon hike up prices in their iPhone app?
It would not only shift the cost to the user, it makes them cover the 30%, while discouraging the use of the iPhone app itself.
They could add a banner before the payment is processed that says "you could be paying less for the same benefit to the patron if you pay from our website. The price is higher here because of Apple, and you're covering the fee."
Apple doesn't allow communicating that to the user and neither price differentiation to compensate their fees.
