The controversy over Apple's App Store explained

When you want to download an app onto your phone, there are really only one place you go on your phone. And depending on what phone you own - it's either Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store. You might not be aware, but every time you pay for an app or make a purchase within the app, Apple and Google take a 30% cut.

And that is becoming a growing point of frustration for other tech companies. They are getting sick of Apple and its dominance. This frustration is being displayed publicly by the likes of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. Today Alec and Sascha ask - why is everyone angry at Apple?
