Apple Gets Hit By Bad PR On Apps Payments

Last Updated:
Apple (AAPL) is doing an atrocious job of paying the developers of software for its iPhone, at least according to The New York Post. The newspaper reports that companies which are not being paid have mounted a campaign on the Internet to pressure the consumer electronics firm. “The group claims Apple is short-changing them by not paying them what they are due for helping the tech giant reach the one-billion-apps-sold milestone recently,” the paper said.
Apple probably doesn’t care. It has the App developers under its thumb.
Apple controls the App Store for the iPhone which means that developers have to go through that portal to get access to customers. The developers have little recourse, even if they are being paid late.
The late payments to developers may be bad PR, but it will not affect App Stores sales or downloads. iPhone users want access to the software. They don’t care when the developers are paid.
