Apple Keeps Right On Approving Amazon And Netflix Updates Without In-App Purchases

Remember when everyone was freaking out over the Apple in-app subscription changes? You should. It was just a month ago. And while some of the fears that arose do appear to be very real, the two things most people focused on were Amazon's Kindle app and the Netflix app. Well guess what? Both received updates today, and neither includes the supposedly mandatory changes.When Apple first announced the in-app subscription option, the wording seemed to indicate that any app that offered a subscription outside of the app would now have to offer it inside the app as well " which Apple would take a 30 percent cut of. The same was said to be true for in-app purchases. If you sold content outside of the app (on the web) to be used in that app, you were supposed to offer it in the app as well (and with a best-price matchguarantee). But again, a month later, Netflix and Amazon keep getting app updates and neither includes these changes.
