iPhone App Pricing and Submission Process
AppleInsider publishes some information released to some developers this week about how they can submit their iPhone/iPod Touch applications to the iTunes App Store.
Applications are submitted via iTunes Connect and do have an absolute size limitation of 2GB. Apps can be limited to specific geographic regions, and information about iPod Touch compatibility and game content ratings can also be specified.
While Apple does give a wide range of pricing options, pricing is restricted to between $0.99 to $999.99 with increments ranging of $1 to $100 depending on relative price differences. Alternatively, applications can also be given away for free. Only a handful of developers have publicly announced specific prices for their iPhone applications, but it appears iPhone games are starting to settle around $9.99.
AppleInsider suggests the iTunes App store will launch on July 11th alongside the iPhone 3G. This date has also been reported by AppleGazette.
