Goods news for new U.S. Patreon subscribers, no more hidden Apple fees on iOS
From Patreon:
"Thanks to a recent U.S. court ruling, Apple must now allow apps to offer U.S. based users checkout options outside of Apple's in-app purchase system (which includes the 30% Apple fee)—something that was previously prohibited under Apple's App Store requirements.
This means real improvements for you:
Patreon's checkout option—which avoids Apple's 30% fee—is now the default checkout option for U.S. based fans making membership purchases in the iOS app.
U.S. based fans now see the price you set without Apple's fee added in, just like they would on web or Android.
New sign-ups on Apple devices just need to use the latest version of the app to avoid hidden iOS fees."
