Summary

Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Apple’s new subscription option sounds like a rebranded take on the ” loyalty program” concept. Developers can now offer discounted rates for 12-month commitments, because who doesn’t love a good subscription lock-in? This “innovation” is likely to thrill users who enjoy being tied to services for extended periods. The real question is, how many users will actually notice the difference? After all, it’s not like we haven’t seen this model before.
