I'm not sure this will turn out to be the case. Amazon has always had a most favored nation clause with regards to ebooks, and that policy didn't cause ebook prices to climb, even though Amazon is the largest seller. It's also worth mentioning that Newspapers and Magazines make the majority of their revenue through advertisers. This is why they choose to heavily discount subscriptions in the first place. If it turns out being on iOS gets them noticeably more subscriptions, then yes they may lose money on those subscriptions, but it may be a net gain if it enables them to raise their advertising rates accordingly. Time will tell.
