So now you can too admit (as you promised) that Apple wants to harvest money for nothing. |
Horemheb, we covered this earlier in this thread. The link you've provided was discussed. It does
not confirm that Apple want 30% for all other content where it adds no value. The Apple spokeswoman confirms that the (subscriptions) rule will apply to other content
sellers like Amazon (who provide subscriptions), not just to magazine publishers. If you dig you'll find that while speculation is rife that this applies to the non-subscription content, that speculation is not confirmed in any of the comments from Apple.
You'll note that earlier in this thread I was saying exactly the same as you, but Kali Yuga pulled me up on it and asked me to look deeper and separate out exactly what was actual Apple comment and what was journalist speculation. When you do that you'll see that Apple have not confirmed that this applies to content, only subscription.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your point here. It seems things are quite clear: Apple are charging 30% for subscriptions made through the app (for which they are providing the service) and nothing for subscriptions made outside the app (where they add no value).
