Under that logic they should charge for upgrades. But subscriptions is not really related to upgrades. Subscription implies that your app is tied to your own backend service that you keep up and running without Apple's help.
- yoz-y 10y agoThis is debatable. Recent changes and interviews with Shiller seem to imply that _any_ application can use the subscription model, even if it is only to pay for updates.

You're definitely using their subscription billing infrastructure. You're getting access to their users credit cards without having to ask for them.
