And how much of that goes to the developers?

Of course this is Apple.. that operates in several tax havens, including Ireland.I bet they don't pay their Irish staff 25% more to account for the currently weaker GBP do they?

Pound is up today and this sort of stuff isn't a life and death situation after all.

Yep. The Devs should also get a higher cut if the price increases as well. But being Apple.. i'm sure it's just more money for them.
