When I ran App Review, we talked about charging developers for reviews.View quoted post on X
We discussed a few versions: a cap on reviews per app, a VIP fast pass to the front of the queue, and paid expedite. None of it shipped. It would have looked like a money grab, and nobody wanted Apple’s name on that headline.
That was years ago. Since then, three things have changed.
New apps are up 84%. Commission rates are falling in the US, the EU, and China. And Apple has a new CEO who needs to make his mark.
This year Apple has already started terminating developers for submitting too often, and making new developers prove themselves before anyone looks at their app. I think the next step is a price list for review, and I think I know what’s on it.
Steve’s rule was that a human sees every app. I gave the first ground on that rule myself, and I wrote about how in the piece.
