Apple is quietly building a new platform layer: an AI app store that lets developers deploy and monetize on-device and cloud-based AI models through the App Store. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down what the AI App Store might look like, how it fits into Apple's existing ecosystem, and why it could reshape the economics of iOS development. They discuss how Apple's on-device AI strategy, privacy focus, and developer tools like Core ML and Create ML are converging into a curated marketplace for AI-powered apps. Lucas brings specific numbers on developer revenue splits and model licensing, while Luna questions whether Apple's walled garden approach can keep pace with more open AI platforms. The episode also touches on how this relates to Apple's reported negotiations with OpenAI and Google for on-device AI features, and what it means for indie developers versus big players.
