Puzzled why Apple's gift would be a discount on content within free apps (with in app purchases) baiting you to sign up and forget to cancel. It looks like a paid advertisement by the two apps, but it doesn't sound like something Apple would normally be ok with.
Got a tip for us?

It likely has something to do with the H word. Says a lot.

Discount on subscription software. Yuk.
Hate? I’m all for anything that reduces it 🤷♂️

Yeah it’s not so great.
Let’s hope there are some better surprises coming up🤞

Part of it is the rumor sites building it up, and then there being disappointment. Part of it is Apple has become increasingly stingy this year in customer dealings (or at least that's been my experience), and it very well could be a tactic to get people to create an account and add their Credit Card.
Apple doesn't do anything no matter how good it is unless it benefits Apple somehow. And that is the same for any company nowadays. I just don't visit the rumor sites as often because like the news media, they are losing things to talk about and garner attention so what is reported on gets dramatized or built up.
Apple has a Market Cap today of $1.3T USD, & that's the best they can do !
Schiller, even you, can do better than that !
Apple should offer something "worthwhile" every single day during their Xmas App Store promo period !
And by offer, I mean FULLY subsidized by AAPL !
But they did happen in Ireland...and I miss them. I still have some of the stuff I got ‘back in the day’!

Sadly, it never ends on this forum of many unhappy people.
Yup, live in nz this morning too
Looney Tunes World of Mayhem is today’s surprise : App Store Story

The surprise is that offering 60% discount on the purchase of 200 gems for a game is not exactly the holiday gift of a lifetime...
Never heard of the game, no plans to install it. What a weird gift idea!

Here's a HUG for Christmas! And a tin-foil hat. 🤣 Just kidding. You use iOS to be in the safe...r haven, right? Trust a little, risk a little, live a little.
Just pushing services I see..
If they are going to do that, why not give every iPhone user 1 year of ATV+ free.. it would be far better then looney tunes

I would be pleasantly surprised if they introduce an update to the TV App that lets you write reviews, see other reviews, and has a wish list feature.
Will these blatant drops in the TV app (which existed in the old iTunes) be introduced as "new" functionality?

LOL at guys complaining about their present not being good enough. Sounds like a spoiled brat.
Ah yes, freemium games
Truly the gift they keeps on giving

I'd like to Give a lot of Apple's leadership the boot. Just being honest....
Get back to focusing on quality, don't over promise and then under deliver. Seems to be the mantra as of late.

A working Laptop for one, an appeasement for destroying 9 HomePods with a software update in October, and in general giving everyone stable product and releases. It's just been the opposite of the house that Steve built since Sept release.
I'm all for turnarounds so don't take this as a rant, but more a request for improvement. But in speaking for what most customers would like, that is getting your money's worth and this just hasn't been a good second half of 2019....
