The hints that the iPhone going to a subscription model also hints that Apple may steer away from the purchasing model for Apps in the App Store. Apple will likely irk a number of people but I could see the App Store becoming even more curated and flipping to a number of smorgasboard app packages. This could be something similar to Apple Arcade but with more tranches. Apple Writer, Apple Business, Apple Productivity, Apple Entertainment, Apple Provides (free Apps), et al. No more lawsuits because the consignment model is gone. But people will still sue.
(I honestly don't think this will happen. But it would likely be a legal "nuclear" option.)
