    Will AVP apps be expensive?

    Do you think apps will still be 99c or free with in-app purchases, considering devs need to spend 3.5k + 99$ a year before they can even produce a compelling app? I think apps will cost a fortune on this thing to recoup production costs.

    Universal Do you think that GPT/LLM is the future of App Store search?

    To say that App Store search is broken isn't anything particularly new. At this point Apple appears to be using only the app title, subtitle, keywords, category name and some metrics that it has regarding the apps that may influence the app to rank higher for searches but not to rank for more...

    Over the past couple of days, the red badge with the app update count in the App Store has stood out to me as something new (I could be wrong). This is the same look as the iOS software update badge.
