New political subscription from the App Store has generated much controversy and criticism since it was announced – with many publishers and some other feel reduction of 30% of Apple is too steep for this kind of purchase from the App Store, and that Apple is being greedy at the risk of losing the applications and developers.
It will be interesting to see how that plays, and if Apple need to adjust the policy in the future.
In the meantime, here is a screencap quick shows a very good thing about the new policy of subscriptions. When you subscribe to a publication, you are prompted if you allow Publisher access to your information. Just in case you can't read the screenshot here is the full text of the command prompt:
Share your information?
The developer would like your name, e-mail and postal code so that they can send you messages about related products in accordance with their privacy policy.
And, of course, you can allow or not. Good stuff. Publishers have been sharing info from the people with all sorts of junk for the years marketers without never offering an easy disengagement. This should help stop the same thing to our inboxes they did to our mailboxes for years.
