Wow... Is this how you will increase your sales apple ? PATHETIC. Sure this will encourage more developers but for customer... Litterally Pathetic. In the first place your products are literrally overprice and then you will require us to pay more on monthly subscription on every apps on the appstore !? Good thing i did't upgrade my ipad to ipad pro 9.7 inch cause this will be my last apple product. SHAME ON YOU APPLE FOR BEING SO F**KIN GREEDY. Also i'm planning on buying Iphone 7 this year but it turns out not anymore.

Apple will be taking very little from this. The developers who make apps will receive the money they deserve for, well, making the apps you love to use so much.

I understand that Apple and developers want more money, but they should undesrtand that people do not like to give money just as the same way. As an IOS user for a long time , to me on a daily usage basis there is no difference between IOS 7 and IOS 9 at all . Same for the updates of Facebook or similar applications, they look all the same and do only all the same things but they receive constant large udates. So when these guys decide to have some money they will release some updates. And who will decide if the updates worth the money? As I understnd money withdrawal will be automatic not. Why would I want somebody taking money from my bank account whenever he wants. I can see in near future developers also creating bugs in apps in order to make you pay for the updates. Also any paid program should be in good working condition, if later they realise that something was wrong in the software it is their mistake and this update should be free. If they sayit is a security update then they will be accepting that there are viruses in apple ecosystem also .

Apple? Is that how you want to make up for the decrees of iPhone sales? Adding ads in the search results of the App Store? Greedily Pathetic

Technology is still business, they finally realized that money should be generated straight out from their efforts to provide efficient use of their inventions.

Right now the model specially for games seems to go Free to download -> huge amount to be able to progress ($1.99 to $99 or even more).
I'd rather see a monthly subscription (a small amount) for big titles and no in game purchase. i.e. You have one month free and as a trial base and after 99 cents to continue.
But as thing have progressed till now it will most likely turn into a monthly subscription plus the above mentioned fee if you want to progress. Very sad where things are heading with application stores now.

I thought this subscription model is for apps store. You pay monthly and you can download all apps you want but this subscription model is for every individual app! WTF? This is so greedy! I would never pay for this kind of shit!

1.App store dont have a try out verios of an app so buy it if you want dont buy it if you dont want you cant try it out
2.If you buy an app and its not working (wild blood does not work on iphone 6s,starts once you can play but then when you start it again its just bug and stuck on loading screen) I have to buy the update on a broken app?
3.Monthly payment means per month so bascily you buy an app and for a small feed of 1 euro per month per app you get to use it...simple math lets say you got 10apps x1 euro x12=120 euros pe years on apps thats why more then the avrage person pays for app on year imo

This is bullshit ...if you pay 4.99 for an and they put 10 levels in it and for the rest of 40 till 50 you have to pay 0,99 this comes down to almost 10 for 1 app plus the extra they make on adds who I have to watch want or not...So no this is creap IMO and gives developers the attiude to make you pay more for less...I dont think this is a good ideea specialy for games ...PLus some apps dont even work on new models I have an iphone 6s and wild blood dont work starts works 1 times when you close the app and reopen it its stuck on loading

FK any subscription model!
Now we must constantly pay for an app we use only a couple of times a year maybe?!
This is nothing but legal robbery and I strongly object against it!
A developer should only bring upgrades to an app to fix it's initial problems (which are way to meany nowadays). For new features they can release a new version of the program and who is interested in it can but it, who's not..NOT! It is that simple!
But no...they must milk the pour customers to death, monthly!
I strongly object to those perfidious practices!

This will trigger customers not to buy apple products, they will just consider other types of phone rather than using apple products that will use more bucks just to have a better version on its program.

I don't like Apple as it is very greedy/unfriendly company but this would be great for developers, apps innovation and quality. Let's just hope they don't become so much greedy to price it high.
