i miss the days when cancelling a subscription would just stop it charging you but you keep the service until you would have to pay

    Apple wants you to know you lose access immediately. They probably had lots of complaints. Some places will grace out the rest of your subscription before removing access (netflix for example, lets you finish out the month you paid for, as expected). If I cancel service I paid for, and the month was already paid for, I expect service to remain active for what I’ve paid for.

      I don’t think Apple feels compelled to grace “the rest of your subscription” when you are on a free trial.

      I don’t think it’s legal to cancel service in the US if it’s pre-paid monthly without a pro-rated refund. That’s straight up theft. I’ve never had that happen.

      In the case above, it says Free Trial, so no payment yet.

      Except apple doesn’t take away any time you’ve paid for just like your Netflix example. If I were to cancel my apple one sub it would remain active until the 22nd….because that’s what I’ve already prepaid for. Apple does cancel you’re unpaid for free trial immediately because you didn’t pre pay for anything.
