While some are reporting that the NYTimes using Apple's in-app subscription procedure as vindication for Apple's approach-I'm not so sure, after seeing the pricing, and responses to it online.
I wonder if the NYTimes is playing this a bit passive-aggressively; "we'll be on iOS under Apple's terms, but this is what it is going to cost". Then, when (if) they get disappointing results/adoption rates, they can show that it was, in large part, due to Apple's pricing, and possibly get Apple to re-look at their terms.
