This is where getting it via Apple’s App Store is nice for consumers.

I (a non-American) had a NYT subscription through the iOS app some years back and cancelling it (like any other subscription through the App Store) was as as simple as:

- Open Settings

- Tap my account

- Tap Subscriptions

- Tap the New York Times option (or whatever it’s called)

- Tap Cancel

While the gate keeper aspect of Apple may not be good in many ways, at least we get this kind of benefit from it.
