Rumours suggest Apple will let publishers and developers sell more expensive titles.
According to a report on Wired, (which echoes a PocketGamer report from earlier in the year) 'the premium section would largely be focused on games, giving game makers a channel to offer more in-depth (and pricier) titles without getting lost in the clutter of free and $1 apps'. So far the App Store has been very popular with independent developers and smaller studios, but their games have all be released at sub-£10 price points.This 'velvet rope' area would make the digital download site more attractive to publishers that have been otherwise reluctant to invest in iPhone games due to lower margins.
