Apple to necessitate in-app subscription for periodicals by March 31st, fine print still a bit fuzzy

We know the every day was to be presently the first fall what's intended to be a overflow of title with in-app purchase for the iTunes store, although we weren't fairly sure how hard Apple would be twisting the faucet until now, that is. According to The Wall Street Journal, Cupertino will refuse any newspaper or magazine app that doesn't take subscription payments through the iTunes store. It doesn't have to be solely Apple's store developers can motionless sell through websites in addition to the mandated in-app option. (If you recall, this is the same issue that Sony Reader for iOS just faced.) There are a few big questions lingering out there: will the 70 / 30 revenue sharing apply? Does the "rejection" apply to apps already in the store like Amazon's Kindle? You bet your (virtual) bottom dollar we'll be finding out soon enough.
