Apple has drastically dropped the price of their Mac Developer Program from $499 or $3499 to $99/year.
According to Apple, the drop in cost is in response to the success of the iPhone Developer Program and the potential to bring those apps and developers to Mac OS X.
“Modeled after the highly successful iPhone Developer Program, we've relaunched the Mac Developer Program to offer members technical resources, support, access to pre-release software, developer forums and more, all for just $99 per year. As our developer base continues to grow in leaps and bounds, we're working hard to ensure we provide our developers with everything they need to create innovative applications for both the iPhone OS and Mac OS X.”
According to MacWorld the new membership no longer offers hardware discounts and its unclear if discounts for WWDC will be offered either.
