App Store Open to Subscriptions as Long as Apple Gets Its Bite
Apple has announced a new subscription service that will be available to all content-based apps on the App Store. This includes magazines, newspapers, videos, music and more. Apple will process payments and keep a 30 percent share as it does with current App Store sales. However, if a publisher should sell a subscription on its own site and then route it to the App Store, Apple would not collect the 30 percent commission.
