New York Times Caves, Gives Apple Its 30% Cut
Quote:
The New York Times has issued an update to its iOS apps today that now allows users to subscribe to paid content through in-app purchases. The change comes a day later than the June 30 deadline Apple imposed on subscription apps that must now provide a way for users to sign up without being redirected to a website.

That means, of course, that for every new subscriber the New York Times signs up, Apple receives 30% of their in-app purchase.

Apple’s latest App Store guidelines, which went into force today, now demand that no application offers an external link enabling users to subscribe to content outside of Apple’s ecosystem. By implementing in-app purchases and removing any links to external subscription, it seems the New York Times is happy to adobe by this rule, whereas other apps have decided to avoid the App Store altogether.
