Developer as an Investor

Developers on Apple's platforms pour their careers and lives into building apps that predominately depend on Apple. This is a very large commitment, yet most developers tend to have a scant understanding of Apple's business model beyond the usual headlines about AppStore's 30% commission or supply chain rumors about the next product.

Given the significance of this investment by us developers, perhaps it makes sense for us to better understand the business of Apple, which we all depend on.

The question is: how?

It's been such a disappointing trend of companies initially welcoming developers, just to then eat their lunch. Twitter has been one of the worst: they killed their developer ecosystem.
