When all else fails, the scare tactics return.

    So theoretically that sounds great, but practically it would have to be Apple to kick those apps from the platform if the apps are not abiding EU law, or how does that work?

      If the app developer uses non-Apple payment processor, those refunds would be handled by that payment processor. The potencial app removal would be handled by Apple or alternative store it’s installed from.

        Yet still, is it then so wrong to warn a user beforehand that the payment processor isn’t going to be Apple? I’m not sure what your idea is that the EU should do here? No warning from anyone seems to be a recipe for scamming.

          It implies that Apple payment system is the only “private and secure payment system”. Which is false, as we covered every single payment processor operating in the EU (as in allowed to take payments from EU citizens) is private and secure as that’s a requirement for them to even be able to operate in the first place.

          If the warning was “App uses external payment processor”. That would have been a different story, no?

      No it wouldn’t need to be Apple.

      If a payment processor won’t comply, you can ask for a chargeback at your bank, and if it keeps happening, the payment processor can be blocked from accepting EU payments at all.

        What you’ve quoted isn’t what I asked.

        Edit: Seems users here are too immature for any discussion other than blind hate.

          It’s always fun to see cult members break down when they have no arguments and call everyone else crazy…
