Think a $10,000 Apple Watch is expensive? Try buying a $999.99 iPhone app.
That’s the price limit that Apple sets on apps available on the App Store, and quite a few apps are actually marked up that high, as Business Insider reports. (App Store doesn’t allow you to sort apps by price.)
Here’s a look at some of the most expensive iPhone apps on the market:
VIP Black, the self-described “millionaire’s app” (proof of assets required upon download), giving users luxury benefits from the company’s partners
Alpha Trader, a trading suite for investment professionals
QSFFStats, a curiously expensive app that allows you to input flag football stats
MobiGage NDI, an app that automates measurement and inspections of manufactured parts and assemblies
While those apps don’t have any reviews — meaning it’s likely no one bought them — there is one $999.99 app that people are actually buying. That’s Cyber Tuner, a “pro piano technician’s gold standard tuning software tool,” which has 61 ratings and a five-star average.
