Yeah, hopefully Patron doesn't roll over and just removes the option to do it in iPhone. Taking away functionality will make Apple look bad, which they deserve.

They already caved.

On Wednesday, Patreon said Apple has renewed its requirement that all Patreon creators must move to subscription billing. The deadline to do so is November 1, 2026.

It's silly that they don't just operate from the browser. It's how I use Patreon on my (admittedly not iPhone) Phone.

They should have just pulled Patreon from the app store.

It's not like it's such an impediment to ask users to use their browser.

In an ideal world we would not have monopolies controlling app stores, but I think Patreon is really stupid for not just abandoning the app store.
