Your subscription will automatically renew until you cancel. Apple will notify you by email no less than 30 days in advance of any material changes to the price of your subscription.
Why it matters
Many consumers are unaware their subscriptions auto-renew, leading to unintended charges — and a 30-day email notice of a price increase means your cost can go up unless you actively cancel within that window.
Consumer impact
Apple's Terms of Service govern every digital purchase and subscription across the App Store, iTunes, Apple Music, and Apple TV+, meaning the agreement affects virtually all Apple device users in the US. Consumers should be aware that all digital purchases are licenses rather than permanent ownership, auto-renewing subscriptions can have their pricing changed with 30 days' notice, and the mandatory arbitration clause prevents users from participating in class action lawsuits against Apple. You can manage your subscriptions and cancel auto-renewals through Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on any Apple device before your next billing date.
What you can do
⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
Cancel Subscription
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions. Select the subscription you want to cancel and tap Cancel Subscription. On Mac, open the App Store, click your name, then click Manage subscriptions.
Applicable agencies
FTC
The FTC's updated Negative Option Rule (2024) governs auto-renewal subscription practices, and the FTC actively enforces against difficult cancellation mechanisms and inadequate price change disclosures.
California's Automatic Renewal Law and similar statutes in New York and other states are enforced by state Attorneys General and create significant compliance obligations for auto-renewing subscription services.
