Apple has recently issued new content subscription terms for companies who want to start offering magazine or newspaper subscriptions. Other content offerings like videos and music are also affected by these new terms.
Basically, what the new terms say is that Apple now requires that it gets paid a 30 percent share whenever there is a new subscription to content like magazines, newspapers, videos and music. This is another example of Apple’s walled garden where it can freely impose whatever it likes to whomever wants access to its environment. According to analysts, Apple can impose this and despite whatever companies feel about it, they will be forced to comply because Apple enjoys a market leading position.
