Marco Arment on Apple’s New Subscription Model

Marco Arment, the developer of my favorite iOS app Instapaper, has posted his thoughts on Apple’s subscriptions policy and the in-app purchase requirement. I agree with pretty much everything Marco states in his post and it is well worth the read. Marco’s conclusion:

The discussion shouldn’t be whether Apple can enforce this policy, but whether they should. And if you look at what this does to developer relations, big and small, it’s easier to argue that this is likely to result in more harm than good to the iOS platform.
