In Australia, stores must show the final price including taxes. Vendors are not allowed to advertise one price and then charge another, higher one, at the checkout. If Apple allowed this, then the inevitable result will be for every subscription purchase in-app to have the following blurb: “Go to our web store for 30% off!” What they most definitely, for sure, absolutely will not include is the rest of what that should say, which is: “Outside of the oversight of Apple, where we will be free to trick you, scam you, sell your info, and make it nigh impossible to unsubscribe.” Speaking of which, that reminds me: I have to call my bank to reverse charges on what I thought of was a one time payment to a website that magically auto renews itself quarterly (not monthly, that I would notice more easily!). Oh, and that quarterly cadence means that Mastercard disputes won’t go through either because it’s too far in the past. Awesome. I can’t wait for this to be the new normal for iPhone apps.
