It’s hard to believe that the Netflix app, which has been on the App Store since 2010, didn’t have in-app purchases until this week, but it makes sense that Netflix would wait until a major iPhone release to change its policy.

Don’t worry, the price hasn’t changed on the app either. It’ll still cost you $9.99 a month to sign up for a subscription to Netflix, even if you do it through iTunes.

With millions of new iPhone 6s users loading up on apps in the coming weeks, Netflix is sure to wrangle plenty of subscribers who are downloading the Netflix app for the very first time. The company even released a video starring Crazy Eyes and Taystee from Orange is the New Black to celebrate the update:

If you haven’t updated yet, simply follow the link to the App Store below from your iPhone and hit the “Update” button. Alternatively, if you’re a new iPhone owner and you’ve never downloaded the app before — check it out, it’s free!
