Quoting myself:

>but they would have paid you anyway so you didn't get those as a customer and a lot of them is going to choose your ios sign-up because its a lot more convinient.

In other words: absent a convinient one-click button, they would have gone through with their signup but given the convinient sign-up, they would use that.

In other words, their preference is:

    sign-up using apple convenient button >sign-up manually > not using the app at all
which is going to cost you 30%.

And almost all of them is going to be in this group.



So 95% of them would have purchased it even if there was no iOS version (as per your original post), but as there is an iOS version 100% of them will now make their purchase using the IAP model (as per the post above)?

That seems a pretty unlikely scenario to me. If they're all purchasing in app, then it's an indication that that's where they're using the subscription and that's where a significant value is being added. That provides in some part a justification for Apple's involvement.
