FTA: “Apple […] shared that it has now paid $550 billion to developers since its launch in 2008. This indicates significant growth, as Apple last reported that as of 2021, it had paid out $260 billion to developers, up from the $200 billion it reported in 2020.”
That’s 60 billion in 2021 and 290 billion in the four years since, or 73 billion a year. I think that, ballpark, just outruns inflation. Also, didn’t their user base grow in those years?

Even before 2008 I knew I couldn't afford Apple.
