App Store

More context

Apple is overhauling App Store fees and terms for the EU, bundling commission changes for developers and external/off-App Store payments while also facing continued legal pushback. Epic is responding critically and Apple’s changes are being framed as both a settlement approach to the DMA dispute and a preview of what may come in the US.

What is the Apple Account Card?

So what is it, exactly? The card displays the balance associated with a user's Apple Account (formerly Apple ID), and it can be used to make purchases in any brick-and-mortar Apple Store and online at Apple.com. It can also be used to buy apps in the App Store, as well as subscriptions and other Apple services. It's also where the credit goes if you use it to redeem an Apple Gift Card. An Apple Account Card can also be topped up using a linked debit or credit card (via the "Add Money" option in Wallet).
