If $10 is a bit excessive then you need to go elsewhere. You just spent hundreds on an iPhone and at least $85 per month on a contract that you must stick with for 24 months and you're complaining about a $10 app – that could possibly save you money? We're all becoming whining little babies that want everything free. Why dont you all complain as much to ATT for $85 a month to get the bare minimum NOTHING package? Software developers work their butts off and not all of us are located in India where we write garbage code for $12/hr and live like kids at that rate. You get what you pay for and if you dont want to pay $19.99 then move along.

While it's sort of true that the new price point is around $4.99 for iPhone apps, but I've been seeing a lot of these apps for around $2.99.

Will be interesting to see what the new price point will be in a few months.

The main problem I see as a developer is that people got used to free apps, and many of them are now unwilling to even pay 0.99$ for a good app. Allowing free apps on the AppStore was certainly a good move by Apple to increase the iPhone value and keep users on the platform, but now I think this is not so great as this starts to hurt small developers who have to work much harder on the marketing front to make any money. Apple should definitely adapt the business model, for example by supporting submission of apps with a trial period, or why not, by significantly increasing fees for the developer program so less free apps get submitted. In absence of change in this business model, I would not be surprised to see a drop in number of developers or submitted apps in a near future.

I'm not seeing this in the Productivity category. 14 of the top 50 apps cost more than $5. The #10 app is doing quite nicely at $29.99, despite direct competition from #35, at $24.99. And if Apple ranked apps by revenue rather than by unit sales, I think you'd find that the cheap apps are actually underrepresented.

The problem isn't users buying cheap stuff or cheap reviewers publicly bragging about how cheap they are; it's bloggers who try to foist broad over-generalizations like this one on the rest of us.

Maybe a little more in-depth analysis would reveal that price points are dropping for useless apps like games and novelty entertainment iFarts whose intrinsic utility is nil, while the price points for actual useful tools in the Business, Productivity, and Utility categories are not. Maybe, but we'll never know from reading these blogs.
