> Part of the reason why devs are going after apple is because they /can't/ charge more on iOS compared to other platforms

That is not true. As a specific counter-example, subscribing to YouTube Premium via the iOS app costs extra compared to subscribing to it via the website or Android.



Is that true in general or did Apple and Google make a special deal on this? Apple and Google are very friendly to each other so I see why Apple would let them do this.


You've been able to pass on the 30% fee to customers in the form of higher prices on iOS since 2011.


I see, I stand corrected then. I'll have to take a closer look at their store ToS.
