Re: [iPad] YouTube subscription more $$ for iOS users

 

What a piece of hogwash. Have Apple users go to the YouTube website and sign up. That eliminates the 30% for Apple. Then go to the YouTube app and sign in.

From today's WSJ:

<<

LOS ANGELES—Google Inc. is rolling out an ad-free subscription service, YouTube Red, along with a host of original programming to lure paying subscribers to its massive YouTube platform.

YouTube Red will cost $9.99 a month for Android users when it launches in the U.S. next week after years of development. It will be available when subscribers sign on a variety of devices and apps, including a new YouTube Music app that is set to launch later this year. The YouTube Kids app doesn't allow users to sign in, so it won't immediately support the ad-free service.

YouTube Red will expand to other major markets next year. For users of iPhones and other Apple Inc. devices, the service will cost $12.99 a month. The subscription price for Apple users is more expensive because Apple charges app makers a 30% fee on in-app purchases such as subscriptions, a Google spokeswoman said.
