Technically, they state you must have the same or better offer. Better isn't the same as cheaper, it can mean more expensive with more features, so an "premium iOS offer with added features" for 30% more could be justified :P
- joel_ms 16y agoThey actually state both "same (or better) offer" and "same price or less" (just not what I wrote :P). But I still think the idea is to avoid what would be perceived as an Apple tax when buying subscriptions in-app.
- sh4na 16y agoI stand corrected, it's more yucky than I imagined. I can imagine what's going through their minds doing this, but this is just plain stealing.. they want to drive off any one that sells products that can potentially compete with them (kindle vs ibooks?), but damn, again they're killing off everyone with a bazooka, again. It's like the dev license change to kill off flash apps that ended up hitting almost every top app vendor out there. They might back down from this like they did for the dev license changes, but this habit of always changing the rules in the middle of the game regardless of who gets hit is really getting old.
