"Are you sure your want to cancel your subscription?" with answers "Yes"
"No". That seems pretty obvious...

You didn't read Apple's HIG, did you?

It's bad practice to only offer Yes/No as an answer since the user has to carefully read and understand the dialog text to be able to make the right decision.

If the choices represent actions, it is usually sufficient to read the button's captions.

As you can easily see with

Cancel / Unsubscribe vs. No / Yes


bye. Andreas.
