In the short run, buying the app probably brings him more income, in the long run, the ads will eventually surpass income from the paid ad-free version.

An iPhone developer, however, can easily switch networks or possibly sell their own advertising.

A more appropriate cut would be %30, like apple’s cut of revenue. This is a huge margin for a company that is simply showing ads and would be very profitably, while being fair to the developer who gets to keep %70 of the revenue.
