Available for purchase... for now.

  The only "...for now" event I have seen in last 20 years of Apple software is iWorks and Mac OS X become free. ...and they integrated some of the Aperture to new Photos app, which is again was a transition to free. Name me something a product, not a service which you can only subscribe in Apple's ecosystem.

    Logic Pro in iPad is subscription only.

      They didn’t take away a one-time purchase option for it though. It just never existed to begin with so the op’s point remains.

    > Name me something a product, not a service which you can only subscribe in Apple's ecosystem. The shows on Apple TV are only available via a subscription; there's no way to have a perpetual purchase (at least as far as that a la carte style of purchase is perpetual).

      They specifically said “not a service” and you brought up a service.

        I would argue a season or episode of television is a product, and Apple TV gates them behind a subscription. I used to buy the season passes so I could return to shows later; that's not an option for ATV stuff.
