- ianferrel 16y agoExactly. That means that an app that wants to offer a "rental" can continue to do so via an in-app link to another purchase process, and does not need to offer the same service (for the same price) in a way that Apple can get 30%. The value proposition is pretty similar. Let's be honest. The chance that a kindle book is going to still work in 100 years is vanishingly slim. Might be unworkable marketing-wise, though.
- chc 16y agoThe new rules forbid linking to alternative purchase processes without allowing an in-app option.
- kenjackson 16y agoBut this isn't a purchase. It's a rental. Apple really needs to get crisper on this.
- pornel 16y agoApp Store rules are not a legal system. They reserve right to reject you for any reason they like, including attempts to bypass spirit of their rules. They have humans judging every case.
- kenjackson 16y agoIndeed. In fact Apple can reject for abiding by the spirit of the rules if they simply don't like you or feel you're a threat to them. Don't think that even if you follow their rules, even in spirit, that they don't reserve the right to screw you over. You're in their house and they can make the rules, as they go along.
