Just curious: shouldn't Netflix be worried? This entitles Apple, Inc. to not only Rhapsody's income, but also to 30% of the income from Netflix's streaming only plan. Presumably, this policy would also affect Netflix's hybrid distribution model.
I think Rhapsody's got a friend in Netflix.
This will be interesting, given how much Apple has promoted Netflix in recent store advertisements, and integrated Netflix with Apple TV. Does this mean that Netflix will be required to have subscriptions entered through the App Store? What about the restrictive privacy policy; will that hinder physical distribution?
- zach 16y agoI would be surprised if the thought of using in-app purchasing for subscriptions even moved their needle of interest at Netflix. Again, if you're just providing a conduit for your subscription service, all this means is that you can't provide a direct call to action in your app. They seem like the prototypical example of an company that couldn't care less about using the App Store as an app-based advertisement or purchasing platform.
