i miss the days when cancelling a subscription would just stop it charging you but you keep the service until you would have to pay

    This is usually how FREE TRIALS work, though, and always has been.

      No it hasn’t. Cancelling pretty much always lets you continue until you were due to be billed.

        Plus the fact that if you forget to cancel you can contact them to refund. (If they are nice)

        Not on free trials….as was said. It is typical if you actually already paid for a month and then cancel to have your subscription active till the end of the cycle.

      Not when you have to put a credit card number on file. In my experience those trials almost always stay active until time has expired.

      This whole thread is full of Apple apologists.
