Apple has set a new deadline of November 1, 2026 for all Patreon creators to switch from Patreon's legacy billing system to the App Store's in-app purchase system in the Patreon app on the iPhone and iPad, as reported by TechCrunch. Note: This image has been edited to include a pile of cash. Patreon is a platform where creators such as YouTubers can receive payments from fans, which can be a valuable revenue stream alongside ads and sponsorships.

Just a reminder, for Turtle Island subscription transactions on Patreon, use a browser rather than iOS or iPadOS to avoid the 30% Apple extortion.

This isn't going to sit well with a lot of these people.

Patreon isn’t happy about Apple’s new subscription billing mandate, arguing Apple’s shifting rules create uncertainty for creators.

Let's see if I can go find that old video on Patreon and where I maybe predicted this:

Hi,
If you're receiving this email, you're still using per-creation billing. Unfortunately,
Apple has reimposed its mandate forcing all creators on Patreon to use
subscription billing by November 1, 2026
Late last year, Apple blocked our app update and made it clear that in order to
remain in the App Store, we have to comply with their billing requirement
Read more about Apple's mandate
We strongly disagree with Apple's decision, and will do everything in our power
to support you through this transition. Here's what you need to know
You'll need to switch to subscription billing before November 1, 2026.
There's no action required right now.
When you're ready, you can start the process from your payout
settings
If you don't initiate the switch before November 1st, your account will
be automatically transitioned — Hi, If you're receiving this email, you're still using per-creation billing.
