"However, Apple does require that if a publisher chooses to sell a digital
subscription separately outside of the app, that same subscription offer
must be made available, at the same price or less, to customers who wish to
subscribe from within the app."

Does this mean that, for example, the Wall Street Journal app MUST allow
users to subscribe from within the app? I'd understand if they said that
in-app subscriptions could not be more expensive then outside-app
subscriptions, but this seems draconian.

"In addition, publishers may no longer provide links in their apps (to a web
site, for example) which allow the customer to purchase content or
subscriptions outside of the app."

So you're not allowed to mention in the app that there's another way to
subscribe? And since they slipped the word "content" in there (in the rest
of the press release, they only mention subscriptions), does this include
the Kindle app and other any e-commerce-related app?
