I think they are quietly loosening 11.15. It started as just magazines, now it has:

Apps may only use auto-renewing subscriptions for periodicals (newspapers, magazines), business Apps (enterprise, productivity, professional creative, cloud storage), and media Apps (video, audio, voice), or the App will be rejected

On top of that, I know of at least 2 very high profile sports and health and fitness apps that are currently using auto-renewing subscriptions. Now, it's possible they get to do it BECAUSE they are high profile, but the precedent exists. They don't fit in any of the above categories.
