I just found this today (I'd prefer a written article rather than a video, but
that's beside the point) - Apparently, there's a class-action lawsuit against
Apple going on now. They argue Apple has a monopoly on how iOS apps are sold -
Their App Store is the only way to buy apps for iOS devices, and Apple charges
developers a 30% cut on the profits, which contributes to driving app
prices
up. The video:

Yep, this is Apple fault not the developers for driving up the cost on some of the applications. Maybe it's time that Apple needs to be split up.
Seems like this could be an interesting case. On most other computing platforms, people can buy software from anywhere they want, and developers can
easily charge what they want. I know Apple likes to ensure a good experience
by keeping their iOS devices inside a walled garden, but I also like to be able
to do what I want with the things I purchase. I think it would be good to be
able to get apps from other sources and have less restrictions on them.
I agree with you on this one.
