Apple has control over which apps they allow. Even with alternate payment methods they can still enforce 1 click cancel, they just don't want to because money.

The UX is great, but not worth paying 30% more.

43% more. The dev gets 70% of the value on the price tag, so that value is 1/0.7=1.428 of what the dev gets.

Singapore a year of Disney plus is $120 from Disney. It’s $120 on iOS.

HBO go is same price. Prime video is same price.

The only one I can’t pay for is Netflix.

So your point is moot.

You are right, and of course there is not always a surcharge. I myself am a big fan of easy it is to cancel when using Apple Subscriptions. However, there are tons of online services that WILL charge your a significantly higher subscription fee, when using Apple Pay (Tinder is a prominent one).

> So you point is mute.

Point is moot

Didn’t even notice I wrote mute haha thanks.

When I'm signing up for some streaming service to watch one or two shows and know I'll be done in a few months, I have no problem with the 30% surcharge. It's paying a little bit more now to make things easier on myself in the future.

It’s 15% after one year and most major players have negotiated 15% from day one.

Paypal does this too. No iDevice lock-in required.

How about just not using those options?
