With the launch of The Daily yesterday, Apple revealed a new subscription model for iPad publications.
You can currently check out The Daily for free for two weeks, then subscriptions run $0.99 per week or $40 a year. This model is currently only available for that publication, but is expected to be expanded soon.
The next time you download on iTunes, you’ll be asked to agree with the updated terms of service about in-app subscriptions.
The 347-word TOS specifies that subs are non-refundable, automatically renew and may hand over your personal details to publishers – which, to me at least, sounds like the same kind of hassle faced with analog magazine subscriptions.
Are you pleased that Apple has created a new, uniform model for subscriptions or are you going to stick to paper?
Let us know in the comments.
