Presumably, the company is making this change to stop Apple from taking a cut of new subscription revenues for Disney Plus and Hulu. However, if you already subscribe to those services through Apple, Disney says you’ll still be billed through Apple.

As much as Apple was abusing its position with a 30% cut, it was great that I knew I could do everything on my phone through Apple in a few clicks.
