It is absolutely true. Apple doesn't take a cut from any of your examples EXCEPT if they make that payment through the app on their phone. If they redirect you to a website to subscribe, apple sees nothing. If your customers use the rails that apple has greased up FOR YOU then they take a cut.

I would agree with you if the app could redirect you to a website to subscribe, but that's explicitly against the rules and not currently possible. This wouldn't be an issue at all if a redirect is allowed, or even a sentence saying "please subscribe on our website". Both are currently banned and this banned is strictly enforced.

In fact, they see 27% [1], and that's very new – it used to be impossible before.
