US-based tech giant Apple, in App Store Policies He announced that he had made a small but effective change. In the statements of the company’s website, for any price increase to be experienced in active subscriptions from now on, user consent is not requested specified. However, there are some limits and conditions for price changes that are applied without the user’s consent.

Apple’s old policy was pretty clear. The user receives information when the price of a purchased subscription changes, He extended his subscription even though there was a difference of 1 cent† Now that won’t happen. There will be no more user approvals for increments to a certain level. Users will start paying actual prices “without even knowing” of the price change. This situation is public may lead to some controversy resembling.

Why did Apple make such a decision?

According to the statement on Apple’s website, the reason for such a decision is that users’ active subscriptions lost unconsciously† According to Apple, users can still receive notifications or messages in the old order. they skip notifications and they lost their subscription to a service. Because they didn’t manually renew the subscription. Here, Apple declares that it has made a policy change to prevent this.

The raise amounts that Apple does not notify in accordance with the new policy are as follows:

According to Apple’s statement, developers pay 50 percent of the annual subscription fee (the upper limit of the increase is $50) or 50 percent of the monthly subscription fee (the upper limit of the increase is 5 dollars) do not get user approval for the walks they take. The App Store automatically renews the existing subscription and the user can continue to use the purchased service without losing their subscription right. Apple states that auto-renewal increases should be limited to once a year and comply with local law. Otherwise, user consent is required. Well this is the case For iPhone owners in Turkey what does it mean?

What about the auto-renewal limits for iPhone owners in Turkey?

Instead of using the international exchange rate in countries that don’t use the dollar, Apple self determined use limits. This is also known as a “tier”. For example, according to the official statement from Apple, an application can be purchased for $10 from the App Store for TL 169.99 in Turkey. So Apple’s dollar/TL parity fixed at 16.99 case† If the decision for the App Store is implemented in Turkey, the situation that users will face is as follows:

• For the increase up to 50 percent of the monthly subscription fee (upper increase limit is 84.99 TL). renews automatically†
• For the increase to 50 percent of the annual subscription fee (upper limit of 849.99 TL) renews automatically†
