Apple has made a change to App Store rules that will allow a subscription app to auto-renew without approval even after a price hike.
which now allow App Store subscriptions to renew automatically each month even if the subscription price has been raised. The old rule required that subscribers opt-in to a subscription renewal if accompanied by a price hike. Now, the possibility exists that one or more of your subscription apps could auto-renew at a higher price without signing off on it.
Apple is not requiring subscribers to approve an auto-renew subscription with a price hike under certain conditions. One, the subscription can only be raised once a year and doesn't hike the rate by more than $5 or 50% of the monthly subscription price, or $50 and 50% of the annual subscription rate.
Apple says that it changed the rules to make sure subscribers don't accidentally cancel a subscription app they need In situations where it allows a subscription to auto-renew at a higher price, Apple says that it"always notifies users of an increase in advance, including via email, push notification, and a message within the app.Apple adds that"for all subscription price increases that are above the thresholds, exceed the annual limit, or occur within territories where the law requires it, subscribers must opt in before the price increase is applied.
