Short answer

A win-back offer is an App Store subscription discount shown to lapsed subscribers to encourage them to resubscribe. Apple introduced it in 2024, and eligible offers can appear across the App Store as well as in the app. It helps subscription businesses recover former customers at a lower cost than acquiring new ones.
