Let's Talk Apple

Like the new layout? I know I do! I have been working on this redesign for quite a while now, modifying the old site for errors. I found that this was not changing how I felt about CrunchyMunchkin. Then I decided to change up the look completely to try and reinstate the spark I once had; I am talking about way back when this very site was known as Nahtano. This is my final attempt at creating the awesome Apple Site we were all looking for. Let's Talk Apple People!

The Rising App Store Price Ceiling is Not a Bad Thing

App Store

Today a slew of developers are pricing their applications for far more than 99¢, ($4.99 – $9.99+), but they are meeting or exceeding the expectations of their customers. This begs the question, “Is the rising price ceiling necessarily a bad thing?”

When the App Store made its grand debut, applications were generally priced very low. Developers were either giving their apps away for free, or trying to squeeze an impulse buy out of the consumer by pricing their apps at an easy to spend 99¢. These apps did not have any groundbreaking content and were more what you could call “bloat-ware.” As time passed, developers started experimenting with variable pricing points, and soon you started to see a flood of $2.99 – $4.99 apps. These apps ranged from being unused and unnecessary (like their 99¢ counterpart), to impressive and well built applications with innovative UIs (Eg. Weightbot – iTunes Link).
