In App Purchases Now Available for Free iPhone Apps

Apple has announced that developers can now use In App Purchases in their free iPhone apps. In the past developers needed to charge at least $.99 for their application before Apple would allow the use of In App Purchases.

In App Purchase is being rapidly adopted by developers in their paid apps. Now you can use In App Purchase in your free apps to sell content, subscriptions, and digital services.

You can also simplify your development by creating a single version of your app that uses In App Purchase to unlock additional functionality, eliminating the need to create Lite versions of your app. Using In App Purchase in your app can also help combat some of the problems of software piracy by allowing you to verify In App Purchases.
