Apple will no longer disconnect when non-payment of subscription

iOS services are now continue to work even if the system detects a problem with payment. You can still listen to music or watch TV shows, while Apple is trying repeatedly to contact the bank and establish the cause of non-payment.

The company announced a grace period (the so-called opportunity to pay off debt on favorable terms) at formal page for developers:

Thanks to the new grace period in case of failure to renew your subscription user will continue to receive access to the premium content of your application. At that time, Apple will try to carry out the payment. Upon successful payment within the grace period, it will not affect the income of the developers and the resumption of the date of subscription.

Simply put, you will not find yourself in a situation where you can not turn on the next series Netflix simply because they forgot to change the card for payments in the App Store. Of course, pay still have, but you can do it at a convenient time. However, Apple does not specify how long the postponement would be.

Third-party developers must manually enable this feature in their apps, so not all services will be loyal to the subscribers immediately.
