When I tried to sign up for Disney Plus to watch the new season of Andor, Disney told me I had to complete the signup outside of the app. Then I got a big warning from Apple saying I was no longer transacting with Apple and wouldn't be able to cancel the subscription or get refunds via the App Store if I continued. Am I misunderstanding what this trial was about? https://imgur.com/a/zmDEx7v

1. Yes it's already a thing

2. The US court found that Apple's implementation/requirement is bullshit and ordered it to stop. Apple complied, in the US only

Oh, worst of all, the app owners still have to pay apple's cut!
