“Our store is not for sale—that’s not how we handle things,” said Schiller. But here’s some App Store ads for you! http://www.loopinsight.com/2016/06/08/phil-schiller-apple-making-major-changes-to-the-app-store …

I’d probably be fine with a subscription model, if they degraded nicely. Stop paying, app still works but no more upgrades. That seems fair.
Apple changed the software mindset from pay a lot every year, to pay a little once, to never “pay”. I do hope they can move the needle back.

Google copies Apple again. Maybe we’ll get lucky and see a race to the bottom in App Store revenue sharing pricing.http://www.recode.net/2016/6/8/11889298/google-apple-subscription-app-revenue-share …

I wonder, is Apple doing subscription instead of paid upgrades because that’s best for users/devs or because of the creaky iTC backend?

@tapbot_paul you nailed it. Their tech debt is leading them to all sorts of bad decisions - View other replies

@dwlz@tapbot_paul Then again, I’ve been saying that since like iOS 5. Completely baffled how Apple has managed this long. -
@drbarnard@dwlz@tapbot_paul Gotta admit, props to Phil Schiller. Appears to be swift changes, no reason to doubt him yet. - View other replies

@rjonesy@drbarnard@tapbot_paul Completely agree, he's definitely making things happen.

@tapbot_paul they'd be better off introducing a proper upgrade mechanism, I have no issues with that. But don't want more subscriptions -
@tapbot_paul I think the problem with lack of funds coming into dev pockets is not due to the lack of payment varieties. This won't help. -
@tapbot_paul They put the power back into our hands. The problem is that we have to collectively move in a direction. -
@tapbot_paul@hodapp people will love moving from free to pay repeatedly, can’t see the internet objecting at all
-
@tapbot_paul I do think people will respond to the option to try an app for a month to see if they like it. -
@tapbot_paul I do hope tweetbot will still have an option for only paying once, IN ADDITION TO subscription option. I like owning software -
@tapbot_paul Recurring subscriptions are never “impulse buys“. -
@tapbot_paul I think there are many Tweetbot users who would gladly pay to keep the best alternative out there…maybe a yearly option?
