This bit really hits the nail on the head, "One thing freemium compensates for is the lack of a free trial system in the App Store."

There is no reason the app store should not allow developers to offer free trials. This is the one thing that Microsoft got right with the failed Windows phone.

IAP does pretty much the same thing. I understand we wanted trials 6 years ago, but I personally feel like this is a solved problem.
