Apple App Store Subscriptions: The FAQ

Apple’s long-awaited App Store subscription policy is out. Here’s a quick FAQ to get to the key points:

»  What kind of content is covered? : Magazines, newspapers, video, music, “etc.” Games aren’t mentioned.

»  What are the subscription options? Weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly or annual.

»  What’s Apple’s cut? The same 30 percent that it gets for other In-App Purchases. In the announcement, Steve Jobs explains it like this: “Our philosophy is simple?when Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 percent share; when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 percent and Apple earns nothing.”
