> greedy friend that would ask you to pay back $1.54 for a meal of $1500

30% is not that.

$1500 represents the money you've already given them to purchase the hardware. You already overpay for that - fine - then they demand a 30% cut from $5 you're giving to a struggling independent creator. It's pure greed coming from one of the richest companies in the world.

		There is a difference between paying 30% and 0.1% that goes beyond "precise maths". It's an egregious share, and Apple is making an estimated $30 billion a year with this, at a margin perhaps more than twice as high as on iPhone sales.
