When you start an app trial, and cancel right away, your trial stays active for it‘s duration. When you do the same with an Apple service like Music or Arcade, the service stops right away. This keeps you from pre cancelling a subscription while you trial in peace. I can’t imagine any technical reason for this and I‘m sure other developers would like to do the same thing.

That is bad. They should give you the trial for the remainder of the period. I use this pattern all the time. Cancelling earlier removes the burden of having to remember to cancel later. Thanks for sharing I had no idea they did this.
