That's not a special deal, though. Just because a reporter didn't know about doesn't mean it was special for Amazon. Your own article even mentions other providers that were already using that and, most importantly, it only applies to renewals of existing subscriptions that were started outside the app. It can't be exclusive to Amazon if other platforms are also already taking advantage of that same process.
New purchases follow the same 30/15 rule as every other developer.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI'd say a video rental is a new purchase. The customer may already be subscribed to Amazon Prime, but they're paying additional money to watch that specific video.
- dpkonofa 6y agoVideo rentals are already covered by an agreement that existed prior to the change in the Amazon app. The article you posted even mentions that Canal+ and other video services were already using this which is an option where you can allow purchases tied to an existing subscription payment method if you also allow for those purchases in the iTunes Store and integration into the Apple TV app.
- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> The article you posted even mentions that Canal+ and other video services were already using this So why isn't Youtube allowed to use this for their video rentals, if the user has a credit card on file in their Google account? Why did Apple only offer it to a tiny number of companies, and only one major player?
