If you first signed up for Netflix on the iPhone app, you enjoy a more affordable subscription than millions of other viewers around the world. That’s because Netflix has allowed iPhone and iPad owners to continue watching their basic plan, which was canned last summer.
This subscription costs £7.99 per month and allows you to watch the entire Netflix catalog in 720p HD quality with no ads. Netflix discontinued subscriptions for new customers in July 2023, but customers already on the basic plan were allowed to keep their subscription until they upgraded or canceled.
If you’ve been paying for your Netflix subscription with a credit or debit card saved to your Apple account (previously your iTunes account), you’ll soon have to say goodbye to the Basic plan.
Netflix Confirmed by The Verge These legacy subscriptions are scheduled to be retired. The company said in a statement that subscribers who paid for the basic tier through iTunes “will now need to pay directly to the company using a credit or debit card.” iOS apps can avoid paying the 30% fee charged by Apple.
