What’s Happening & Why This Matters
Netflix is removing the option to pay through iTunes for users on the basic plan. This means they will have to provide credit or debit card information for payment instead. The company made this decision because it stopped allowing new customers to subscribe through the Apple app store to avoid paying a commission. As a result, existing users have been able to continue using iTunes for payment, but this option is now being phased out.
t/f Summary: What’s Next
This move comes after Netflix ended the $10 basic plan and increased its prices, with new customers now paying at least $15.49 for an ad-free experience.
