All about PR. Pretty sure they make the big bucks off the $1million+ earners.

No. The majority of their income is from the less than $1million earners. That's how the long tail in economics works.

No, majority of the App Store revenue come from big developers. Think YouTube, all the freemium games, etc.

> The change will affect roughly 98 percent of the companies that pay Apple a commission, according to estimates from Sensor Tower, an app analytics firm. But those developers accounted for less than 5 percent of App Store revenues last year, Sensor Tower said. Apple said the new rate would affect the “vast majority” of its developers, but declined to offer specific numbers.
