I paid a lower price until I did not. 2023 New years day I signed up for an offer 6 bucks a month. I knew it was only for a year, but then I forgot. On new years day 2024, I got charged 50 bucks. Maybe I could have fought it, maybe I could have spent some time challenging it, but it was not worth my time, so I canceled my subscription. But what cost me 12 X 6 = 72 for a year now cost me 50 bucks for a month. This is the difference Apple's payment system can make. You visit the store regularly (hopefully), so you know when the renewal is up, and at what price. Even if you do not visit regularly, I presume you can set up alerts to notify you of expiry, and IIRC they allow small adjustments to the price without notification, but 6=>50 would be notified. Pretty sure. Of course this does not work for some companies who thrive on people slacking off on canceling re-priced subscriptions.
