@schwa @sandofsky @gruber @matt not to mention that Apple now allows apps to raise subscription prices without users having to explicitly opt-in: https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/16/23078313/apple-app-store-subscription-price-increase-permission-rules

Apple will let your subscription apps charge you more money without asking

Apple has announced new App Store rules that will make it so developers can increase their subscription prices without you having to opt-into the change when it comes time to auto-renew.

@nicklockwood @schwa @sandofsky @gruber @matt Absolutely wild that Apple is spinning this as a feature for users:

“Apple says it’s making the change to help avoid the situation where users unintentionally lose access to a subscription because they missed an opt-in message.”
