Today, we’re introducing a new way people can pay for your auto-renewable subscriptions in the App Store: monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment. This new payment option allows you to offer subscribers more affordable options. People can cancel their subscription at any time, which prevents the subscription from being renewed after they have completed their agreed payments to fulfill their commitment.
To provide transparency, people can easily view the number of completed and remaining payments for the subscription in their Apple account. Apple will also email and, if chosen, print notifications before their renewal date to remind them of their upcoming purchase.
You can now configure this type of subscription in App Store Connect and test it in Xcode. With the exception of the United States and Singapore, monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment are available worldwide for people on iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, macOS Tahoe 26.4, tvOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4, or later, with the release of iOS 26.5, iPadOS 2 macOS Tahoe 25, 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 in May.
