Apple now offers ‘grace period’ for lapsed App Store subscriptions

Apple has changed how the subscriptions in its app store work. Much like Google Play, which has grace periods for customers with subscription since 2018, the iPhone maker is now implementing that to reduce subscriber loss.

Earlier, any lapse in payment would have barred the customer from using the subscription-based features of the app, making it more difficult for Apple to reacquire the business. These payment lapses could have occurred due to several reasons like expired or disabled credit card and many more – other than the customer wanting to end their subscription.
