> Also worth noting it is really, really trivial to cancel an app subscription from within your Settings, and to see much of the trial period is remaining.
I think for most people it's pretty hard to find.
It's not actually in Settings. You have to open the App Store, click your face, and that screen has a "Subscriptions >" menu item. I don't subscribe/purchase that much stuff on iOS, so it always takes me a while to find it.
EDIT: thanks for the reply, TIL it's _also_ in Settings :)
For the sake of those who don't use iOS: When you start a trial you also receive an email, subject "Your Subscription Confirmation," which says:
> You’ve purchased the following subscription with a 1‑week free trial:
Subscription Apple TV+
Date of Purchase May 16, 2020
Introductory Offer Free for 1 week
Renewal Price $4.99/month starting May 23, 2020
Payment Method Store Credit
> No commitment. Your subscription automatically renews for $4.99/month starting May 23, 2020 until canceled. To avoid being charged, you must cancel at least a day before each renewal date.
> To learn more or cancel, [review your subscription](link to unsubscribe).
It’s also in Settings (at least in 13.5.1, not sure when this was implemented). Tap on your name where it says “Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store” at the top of the first screen.
Every release since trials were implemented seem to have made cancellations easier and subscription status review more prominent. It's now to the point of almost being annoying in how many different places take you to subscriptions. But great for casual users, so I don't complain (except here).
