Carl Pei, the co-founder of OnePlus and founder/CEO of Nothing, has recently shared his thoughts on Apple’s products and practices. Despite his admiration for Apple’s constant refinement of the iPhone, he is not a fan of the Apple Watch.
In a recent tweet, Carl Pei reposted a satirical video from the Morning Brew Twitter account highlighting the infamous “Apple Tax” issue. The video humorously portrays a scenario where an app developer is charged a 30% fee by Apple for selling their app in their store, with no alternative options available.
The video showcases the absurdity of the situation, with Apple proposing a 17% tax along with an additional $0.50 fee for every download over a million downloads per year. The app developer ends up owing Apple $400,000 despite their app being free and not generating any revenue from downloads.
The regulators in the video express frustration with Apple’s practices, calling them unfair and likening them to a monster. Carl Pei’s reposting of this video sheds light on the ongoing debate surrounding Apple’s business practices and the impact it has on developers.
It is clear that Carl Pei is not afraid to speak out against what he perceives as unfair practices in the tech industry, even when it involves one of the biggest players like Apple. His willingness to engage in these discussions demonstrates his commitment to transparency and fairness within the industry.
