Apple opens cross-developer subscription bundles in the App Store
Apple's WWDC 2026 App Bundles expansion lets developers at separate companies package their subscriptions together — including 'Suites' that have no standalone purchase option — mirroring the cross-company bundle deals common in streaming. Developers with overlapping but non-competing user bases can now build joint pricing tiers to drive cross-app retention without competing on individual subscription price.
