Is apple still blocking apps from telling users they can subscribe outside of the app store?

I.e A message on check out that says "You can save 30% if you subscribe directly the website. Apple charges a 30% processing fee for using Apple subscriptions, please just subscribe on the website."

I believe this is related to that, yeah.

I wonder how quickly Apple would come up with new bullshit if apps started providing an interstitial page with a breakdown.
