I've worked on a streaming service that did in-app subscriptions. I've written up my experiences before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17831188 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17831188 I wonder if Apple is letting this slide because it's enough money that Netflix would feel sufficiently motivated to spend lots of money to take Apple to court over it. Apple could lose a lot more than a billion a year if the law sides against them, which is a likely outcome. They would have to let everyone pick their payment provider. Everyone from Stripe to Paypal would rush in with better and better payment terms. Better to keep anyone capable of winning a legal challenge against them happy.
