It seems that, from now on, you can acquire something within a application or a gamesuch as extra functions, coins, skins, or anything, in addition to subscriptions, and you can apply discount codes to get cheaper, as you do on the computer.
This was something that, until now, could not be done on an iPhone, because the App Store And Apple did not allow it, thus getting the totality, and they took their part of the commission, which is not little, precisely, and one of the reasons for this matter with which we have been weeks.
Use discount codes on iPhone
Apple would have recently lost several judgments, which allowed companies to implement payment catwalks to Apple within games and applications, due to the 30% commission that the apple company had for each payment.
I am sure that you have realized how a subscription or purchase within an iPhone is much more expensive than on PC, whether it is a Sub on Twitch, or a Pokémon card package, no matter, everything is more expensive from the mobile due to this commission.
That is why, in order not to lose so many sales, and that it is the developers who mark similar and competitive prices, thus continuing to buy through Apple, they will allow them to apply discount codes within this type of acquisitions, which did not exist now.
Apple presented the changes during a wwdc25 session entitled “Storekit news and purchases within the application”, Where he explained that the new exchange process will be available directly within the apps that use the current OfferDeRe -EmpiPi, or through the System Interface for Apps developed with Uikit using presentation presentation -re -re -desemsheet.
Apple has not said exactly which version of iOS 26 will include this function, only that “at the end of this year will come.” But given the moment, it is almost certain that it will arrive as part of iOS 26. In the same way, they have said that it will appear in ipados and macOS, so it ends, in part, the limitation of Apple in this aspect, both for developers, and for users.
We will be attentive to see if companies put this new function into practice, or it is simply a resource that few will use, since, although they can match prices from other platforms or games, they will also lose part of their income with it, because Apple will continue to keep part of that money, whether with a discount, or not.
And you, what do you think of this? Did you ever notice that There was no option to exchange codes within the iPhone? The truth is that no, and that I have ever had to go to the computer to do it because of it, but I thought it was lack of programming in the mobile app, and not that Apple was responsible, and did not let it do it natively.
