In a conversation based in good faith and not tired nitpicking most people would understand that it being simple to cancel a subscription when you're not using some thing and then easy to restart when you want to use it again would be a positive…
I don't know about you but checking apps that are a requirement for travel/important events is something I already do. If I am traveling somewhere for a convention you better believe I made sure that my airline's app, hotel's app, whatever ticketing app the event organizer is using were all updated, logged in to, and tested before leaving the house.
Any 1 of these having problems could be anywhere from annoying to catastrophic. Why take the chance?
Wow checking all of those apps before travelling seems so much inconvenient compared to owning a 200€ dive computer that lives in the bag with all the dive stuff and one can grab on the way out.
I personally loathe apps. I travel regularly and have no hotel app, no airline app, no ticketing app.
But here in sweden they are moving train tickets online, so in major stations there is ONE ticket machine and in minor station there is none.
You don't check your dive computer before going on a dive? I mean I get that is a much simpler device and more reliable, but I'm not sure that I would make the trade-off of not pulling it out and powering it on instead of possibly getting to wherever I'm diving and finding that it's dead or nonfunctional and being out of luck.
Apple's value proposition is "it's easy and convenient to see what subscriptions you are currently paying for, and to unsubscribe from them in a few clicks—without having to find a form or send an email or call a phone number"
