This sort of thing, and the whole "cancel by mail" thing noted above, are why consumers see such value in buying subscriptions through Apple's evil puppy-kicking "walled garden."

Tech types don't see the value in it. But regular people do.

I subscribe to the dead tree editions of four newspapers, and several magazines. But if it's available from Apple News, I'll go there first, because I know I'm insulated from the dark side of the subscription model.

I'm completely with you here. I subscribed to the NYT for some time through Apple subscriptions. No funny business when I wanted to unsubscribe, just two clicks and my subscription stopped when the expiration date came.
