Everything else is the same: the fees are the same, the prohibition to use and/or advertise payment methods outside AppStore is the same etc.

The program first became public earlier today when Amazon updated its Prime Video iOS and Apple TV apps to allow in-app purchases for the first time. It is not clear how long the program has existed, but there are at least two other providers, Altice One and Canal+, currently participating, Apple confirmed.
