Apple is testing a feature to help App Store developers undercut competitors’ subscription prices

Apple has begun piloting an App Store feature called contingent pricing that will let developers offer cheaper subscriptions to customers based on the other subscriptions they already hold. The company says it's meant to help developers "attract and retain subscribers."

Oh, yay, another reinforcement of the bullshit subscription paradigm

ReallyKinda,

hmm kinda like offering promo pricing for internet/cable/streaming but the added “based off other subscriptions” seems new. I do wish prices were fixed to some sort of stable underlying value (materials+labour+transport+some reasonable profit margin).
