I find your statement surprising. The ease of changing or removing a subscription is the largest reason I would subscribe through iOS to anything. Is there something specific to Quibi?

No, but finding where are you unsubscribe an iOS is not the most intuitive thing.

Luckily they send those emails to you that remind you that you’re about to start getting charged.

Indeed. I'd been paying for HBO through Apple since they launched HBONow. When we got AT&T fiber, they bundled in HBOMax for free. AT&T made it annoyingly difficult to sign up for the free service. And it took a while to figure out how to unsubscribe from HBO in iTunes.

I've just got into the habit of unsubscribing every time I start a free trial on iOS. I just tap settings -> iCloud account -> subscriptions and then cancel the sub I just started. It gives me access throughout the trial and if I go to use it and it blocks me because the subscription ended I take measure of my own sadness to decide I want to pay.
