I am torn. I like the in app payment and subscription systems easy to use and manage and trustworthy, no run around if a later I want to cancel a subscription, good stuff for the consumer.
I do think their 30% cut is excessive but they provide a lot a value with it, not sure what number would be acceptable to developers in order to just use it, part of me thinks they should just take no cut and make all their money by dominating phone sales.
The real problem here is complicated rules that are inconsistently enforced, and changing their minds later, that really screws over developers.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoIt would be trivial to solve by still requiring the IAP, but allowing developers to inform the user that another price is available on the web. You'd still get the convenience of subscribing through the app if you want it (and paying more for it), but you'd be aware of the alternative. After all, if Apple defends their policies as user protection, they shouldn't be opposed to more information being given.
