Are the requirements still there for e.g. the EU storefront?

  I'm pretty sure EU apps can link elsewhere for payment, but they have to show a warning message first saying that the payment is outside of Apple's jurisdiction and you can't get a refund from apple, etc.

    Am I crazy or was this not already possible in the US? When I tried to sign up for Disney Plus to watch the new season of Andor, Disney told me I had to complete the signup outside of the app. Then I got a big warning from Apple saying I was no longer transacting with Apple and wouldn't be able to cancel the subscription or get refunds via the App Store if I continued. Am I misunderstanding what this trial was about? https://imgur.com/a/zmDEx7v https://imgur.com/a/zmDEx7v

      1. Yes it's already a thing 2. The US court found that Apple's implementation/requirement is bullshit and ordered it to stop. Apple complied, in the US only
