Apple offers cheaper App Store subscriptions

Apple is introducing a new subscription tier for its App Store, allowing developers to offer lower monthly prices for users committing to a 12-month plan. This move aims to provide developers with more predictable revenue streams and attract price-sensitive customers by formalizing existing discount strategies. While this offers potential savings for consumers, it also introduces a risk of accidental long-term commitments if users forget to cancel. The feature will not be available in the US or Singapore at launch, possibly due to ongoing litigation and strong consumer protection rules in those regions.
