The Dreaded Tappable Link

Dan Moren:

Some developers have already begun to make the necessary changes. Last month, video-streaming provider Hulu updated its Hulu Plus iOS app, dropping a link that allowed users to visit the company’s website to sign up for a paid subscription. Others, such as Netflix, have exploited a loophole: The login screen for the video-streaming app tells users to “Visit netflix.com to sign up” but does not provide a tappable link.

Heck of a threat, that tappable link. I can see why Apple has to ban those.
