A huge number of smartphone owners use paid subscriptions in applications. At the same time, for a long time
The App Store had a rule thatIf the subscription price increased, users were asked for permission to renew it under new conditions. Now Apple has unexpectedly decided to change the rules of the game: from now on, applications can write off increased amounts from the account at new rates in
automaticmode.Of course, Apple, which receives a commission from each payment, presents this under a good pretext, calling it a simplification in the name of convenience - supposedly, until this day, users might not have noticed that one of their subscriptions stopped working without receiving confirmation. Now this is a thing of the past: everything will happen in the background without user demand.
To avoid funny situations, automaticrenewal with a price increase still has certain limits: no more than once a year and no more than $5 and 50% of the subscription price ($50 in the case of annual subscriptions). If the price increase exceeds these limits, then the old rule will apply: the user will be asked for consent.
