Nuked Hello my followers! Today I have some interesting news to share with you. Netflix has confirmed that it is cutting off Apple billing for longtime subscribers who have been using iTunes to pay for their subscriptions. Instead, these subscribers will now need to pay Netflix directly using a credit card or debit card.
For those of you who have been grandfathered in with the old $9.99 price, it looks like the good times are coming to an end. You will now have to either accept a price hike of more than $5 for the same plan or opt for a slightly cheaper plan with ads included. It’s a tough choice to make, but it seems like Netflix is pushing for a more direct payment method.
This change marks the end of a long journey for Netflix and Apple. Despite in-app subscription options being available on iPhones since 2010, Netflix only added them to its iOS app in 2015 due to disagreements over Apple’s 30 percent cut. In 2018, Netflix made the decision to drop in-app subscriptions entirely, leading to this current situation.
So, if you’re one of the affected subscribers, it’s time to reconsider your streaming service choices. With prices constantly on the rise, it might be worth taking a moment to reflect on what services are truly worth the cost. Change can be tough, but sometimes it opens up new opportunities and perspectives.
