That's an interesting way to get around Apple. I wonder if it will hold. You're basically saying that if you want iOS accessibility, you pay 43% more. So maybe WSJ has a newspaper version, a newspaper plus digital (including android, any non iOS device), and then a newspaper plus digital plus iOS plan.

Wonder if there's also another way to get around it, maybe by just jacking up the rate 43% everywhere to please Apple, but maybe giving some other type of promotion (loyalty points, coupons, free stuff) for people that don't use iOS. Maybe you could give 3 months free or something as a credit for anyone who doesn't use iOS?

Given the level of detail Apple has provided, it sounds like either option could work.

Edit: changed 30% to 43%



42% more, not 30% more.


err yes. or closer to 43, but yes.
