Youtube Music and Premium: why you shouldn't create an account with your iPhone
Please note, once this free trial period, you will be charged € 12,99 for the standard offer if you have subscribed via your iPhone or iPad. Like always, Apple claims 30% on each subscription passed through an application downloaded from the App Store. Here are the details of the cost of the subscription with the share of 3 € required by Apple:
- YouTube Music Premium : 12,99 euros per month instead of 9,99 euros
- YouTube Premium: 15,99 euros per month instead of 11,99 euros
- YouTube Music Family: 19,99 euros per month instead of 14,99 euros
- YouTube Premium Famille : 22,99 euros per month instead of 17,99 euros
It is for this reason that he it is not possible to subscribe to the premium offer of Spotify directly on an iPhone. Other services, such as Netflix, have simply decided to cover the 30% due to Apple at no additional cost to their subscribers. This is unfortunately not the case with Youtube, which leaves it to its subscribers to pay Apple's share.
