Your reply looks like "tell me you work for apple without telling you work for apple" or "tell me you are apple fanboy without telling you are one". Why so much bashing on Spotify. I never bad problem cancelled free trials of Spotify outside any app store. Honestly, people are ok to pay 30% premium for convenience.no thanks.i would gladly pay 20% less if the purchase is less than any app store. Honestly, i feel like there should be more competition among app stores to benefit customers.this is clear monopoly. Hacker news is very sensitive about negative sentiment on Apple. Maybe more people who work take pride in protecting the brand. I know I will be bashed to speak my mind here.but I speak anyways. I vote for freedom of choice.

Then choose a different phone.

Apple clout let’s it literally force companies to allow easy subscription cancellation because apple handles it. I never have to worry.

Then they can force apps not to cross track (sorry Facebook)
