Anteriormente, está característica estaba restringida a aplicaciones de al menos US$ 0.99. Este cambio dará lugar a la posibilidad de realizar versiones gratuitas de prueba, y posiblemente demos limitadas por tiempo (sobre esto no existen declaraciones oficiales de Apple). Para ser sincero, a mi me da la sensación de que también va a llenar de aplicaciones pagas “disfrazadas” de gratuitas. Link. [...]

These better apps should be great for customers. This should be a win for everyone in the deal.

Also, the 70/30 split also exists in the In-App purchasing and it is spread out through all computers and devices that are connected to the account (Up to 5) so you don’t have to pay again for each device that wants to download the In-App DLC.

You pay for the game, they keep you playing by offering DLC (Be it paid or Free). With this, Developers now can offer their game for Free and still give you content to keep playing (Again, be it paid or free). Now remember this people. Its up to the —Developers— what and how they charge, whether it be for the App or the DLC that follows. Not Apple. Remember now.
