Apple will allow your subscription apps to charge you more money without your permission

Apple will allow your subscription apps to charge you more money without your permission

Here are some samples of how that might look: Assume you have a $60-per-year subscription. The developers could boost it to $90 ($60 plus 50%), and it would automatically renew without your intervention. If you have a $15 monthly membership and the developers want to raise it to $22, you’d have to opt-in to that – it’s less than a 50% increase, but it’s more than the $5 cap.

If you take that literally, it indicates that both requirements must be met in order for an opt-in to be required. However, the sample scenario appears so absurd that it’s difficult to imagine that’s what Apple intends. We’ve requested clarity on this subject and will provide an update if we receive one.
