         Apple Lets App Store Developers Set Prices Using More Numbers

   Adam Engst

   From [1]Apple Newsroom:

     Under the updated App Store pricing system, all developers will have
     the ability to select from 900 price points, which is nearly 10
     times the number of price points previously available for most apps.
     This includes 600 new price points to choose from, with an
     additional 100 higher price points available upon request. To
     provide developers around the world with even more flexibility,
     price points ' which will start as low as $0.29 and, upon request,
     go up to $10,000 ' will offer an enhanced selection of price points,
     increasing incrementally across price ranges (for example, every
     $0.10 up to $10; every $0.50 between $10 and $50; etc.).

   Wow, 900 price points! Wouldn't it be easier to let developers, you
   know, type in whatever prices they want to use? At least the dark days
   of not being able to sell 29-cent apps are now over, and we can rest
   assured that Apple will thoroughly vet all apps aiming for that coveted
   $10,000 price point.
