> That's one of the things that's great about Apple's iAP and Apple being the handler of transactions. There's no tricks, it's standart on every app

And that is exactly what user-hostile companies and devs want to undermine.

Just look up Match.com (parent of Tinder and part of the “coalition” against Apple) and the shit they pull against people, as an example (like charging certain demographics differently for the same service and using artificial matches to bait new subscribers)

If you get screwed by such a scummy actor via Apple’s IAP, Apple will give you a refund without asking any questions, almost immediately. That’s what they want to sidestep, it was never about the users.
