  Looking forward to Apple getting their ass kicked in EU court like they have for the last several bad faith App Store incidents.

  The App Store has, for me, been a good experience when it comes to refunds (the right to withdrawal for digital purchases in the EU). They do comply, no questions asked.

  Not sure any of that applies when you give some wildcard company outside the EU your payment information for some random in-app purchase.

    All banks/approved payment proccesors operating in the EU comply with that as it’s mandated by law. Note that I said operating, not based.

      Exactly. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those apps are using payment processors outside the EU to circumvent this. So assuming those apps are not warning the users for “no refunds”, who else is gonna give some kind of warning?

      I’m a EU citizen residing outside the EU, so my knowledge on this is not exactly up to date.

  people in the comments of the article are defending apple not realising that if the goal was to inform rather than use scare tactics they would have put “this application uses third party payment processing that may be less secure than apple’s” or something of the sort in grey text in the privacy infor section.

  I hope this goes on like “made in Germany” (originally devised as a way to keep people from buying German products, quickly became a label of quality).
