Why You Should Audit Auto-Renewing IPhone App Subscriptions Now
Subscriptions to your iPhone apps can now become more expensive without requiring you to agree to new prices. Apple recently introduced a new rule that allows developers to silently raise the price of a subscription as long as it doesn’t exceed a certain amount. Because many app subscriptions aren’t all that expensive, you may see more and more developers raising their costs without telling you up front, and the differences can start to add up. To avoid this, you should check your app subscriptions now and cancel the ones you think are not worth more than you have paid in the past.
Developers will still be required to send you a subscription request if the monthly subscription price increases by more than 50% and/or if the difference between the old price and the new price is more than $5.00. Developers can upgrade annual subscriptions up to 50% up to a maximum of $50. In these cases, you will still receive a subscription message, and if you do not accept it, the subscription will end.
