Apple Stands Down On The Eve Of In-App Subscription Changes ⇢

parislemon:

Well, well, well. It looks like Apple just quietly reversed course on the major in-app subscription changes they had said were coming this month. 

Jordan Golson:

Content providers may offer In-App subscriptions at whatever price they wish and they are not required to offer an in-app subscription simply because they sell a subscription outside the App Store as well. 

In other words: Netflix: fine. Kindle: fine. Pandora: fine. Etc.

If apps do choose to use in-app subscriptions, Apple still gets the 30 percent cut. But it’s up to those apps. The only thing they can’t do is have a buy button in the app that links to an external page. Fair enough. 

I had a feeling since day one that common sense would prevail here. Good to see that it has.

Going to share the wealth a bit? Feeling Android pressure? Pushback from app developers?

Reddit Needs Help ⇢

Wonders how much people would be willing to pay. Me: $0. I never use Reddit.

I guess the Conde Nast folks are putting the screws on.
