谷歌正在从苹果的应用商店取消YouTube电视订阅
If you subscribe to anything via the App Store, Apple automatically takes 30% of the first year’s worth of fees, dropping down to 15% for every payment after that. Naturally, this displeases the companies that lose that substantial cut.
如果你通过App Store订阅任何东西，苹果会自动收取第一年费用的30%，之后每次支付的费用都会降到15%。自然，这让那些损失了巨额利润的公司很不高兴。
An email discovered by MacRumors has found that Google is the latest company to be kicking back against the Cupertino firm’s system, with the announcement that it will cease any YouTube TV subscriptions made through the App Store from March 13.
MacRumors网站发现的一封电子邮件显示，谷歌是最新一家对苹果公司的系统进行反击的公司，该公司宣布，从3月13日起，将停止通过苹果应用商店订阅YouTube电视节目。
This means that new customers won’t be able to pay via their Apple device’s storefront from that date onwards, and any existing customers will have their subscription automatically cancelled on the first billing date after March 13.
这意味着，从3月13日起，新用户将无法通过苹果设备的店面进行支付，任何现有用户的订阅将在3月13日之后的第一个账单日自动取消。
Although the reason for the cancellation isn’t specifically mentioned in the email, the aforementioned fee that Google would be paying to Apple is very likely the motivator.
虽然邮件中没有具体提到取消的原因，但谷歌支付给苹果的前述费用很可能是动机。
YouTube TV is not alone in this rebellion: Netflix no longer allows you to pay for your subscription via the App Store, and Spotify has famously complained that Apple’s practices are anti-competitive, with its competing Apple Music platform getting a substantial leg-up for iOS and macOS device users.
YouTube TV并不是唯一一个这样做的公司:Netflix不再允许用户通过App Store支付订阅费用，Spotify曾抱怨苹果的做法是反竞争的，其竞争对手苹果音乐平台为iOS和macOS设备用户提供了很大的帮助。
Naturally, not being able to subscribe to a service via Apple’s storefront will lose that service some exposure (the trade-off that Apple claims justifies its high fees), and as a condition of being available on the App Store, the YouTube TV app must now remove any reference of subscribing via a separate platform.
当然，如果不能通过苹果的店面订阅某项服务，这项服务将失去一定的曝光度(苹果声称这是其高额收费的正当理由)，作为在应用程序商店上可用的一个条件，YouTube TV应用程序现在必须删除任何通过单独平台订阅的引用。
Users will still be able to use the YouTube TV app on any Apple device as they previously did, but going forward, subscriptions and payments will have to be made elsewhere – specifically, from YouTube’s website.
用户仍然可以像以前一样在任何苹果设备上使用YouTube TV应用程序，但今后，订阅和支付将不得不通过其他方式进行——特别是通过YouTube的网站。
