If you subscribed to Netflix via the iOS app or iTunes back when that was possible, and have been happily paying and watching via that system for years, Netflix will no longer be accepting your payments: you'll need to subscribe directly instead of via Apple. Netflix has confirmed that it's telling all members who used "an iTunes method of payment" to sign up directly as their existing payment method is no longer supported.
That's going to be a blow for anyone whose subscription meant they were still paying the pre-hike subscription rates: the basic plan that for some users was still being charged at $9.99 per month has now been cut off, so existing subscribers will need to pay the current rate for the streaming service or drop down to the ad-funded service instead.
