  I've said this in a previous topic about the lawsuit, but with developers using third party payment methods, consumers like me lose out on iClouds convenient and simple subscription management. Being able to cancel services like HBO Now, Strava, or whatever I'm trying out for a bit of time with a consistent interface is a big win for consumers. Instead, I know the developers celebrating in the comments will happily adopt the trash UI patterns implemented by legacy media, like newspapers and satellite radio, where subscribers have to go through a form and then get in contact with support on the phone to process a cancellation. Apple's payment system puts the end-user experience first. I'm sure abandoning that will pad subscriber retention for the developers here, but I'm really, really not looking forward to this.

  There is nothing stopping apps doing so already, only difference is Apple get a 30% of IAP or not. A lot of games and many apps do this already, download and perhaps few features are free, however advanced features/ removing ads / buying skins or mods in game requires you to pay . This is nothing new.
