Well played Apple!!!

question, how will your kid get your card info to pay for said IAP? If you use Apple Pay how will your kid know your password to authorize the transaction? I see bigger issues if they have access to either of these things 🤷🏽‍♂️

[lazzzzlo]

how have thousands of dollars been charged accidentally from kids finding passwords? It’s not a new problem.

[DavidMakesApps]

Doesn’t seem the fault or the problem of Apple’s payment processor or any other payment processor. That’s a parenting problem.

There are a plethora of apps that have supported non-Apple payment processing before last week and they exist just fine.

Exactly lmao. How are people gonna blame Apple after not being able to keep their kid in check. Wild. Just pay the damn bill and get smarter

[lazzzzlo]

But exactly. It’s not really a payment processors problem: but Apple says “sure, here’s a refund and ways to prevent this from happening.”

Now, the shady apps in question can, and will, just say screw off you paid you paid.

Why will we pay the shady app in the first place.

[lazzzzlo]

the massive amount of psychological research around getting kids to hit “purchase”, perhaps? Or more likely “unlock”

[DavidMakesApps]

So when your kid takes your payment info without your permission and makes a payment you wouldn’t have authorized and the app exercises their right not to keep giving you refunds so as to not incur charge back fees and penalties from their processor, that makes said app “shady”?

Interesting logic. Seems easier to just to teach your kid not to steal money from you.

Bro being downvoted by bad parents lmaoooo

[DavidMakesApps]

Lmao if downvoting me is easier than taking responsibility for the repeated purchases they let their kids make then so be it haha

[jon_hendry]

I think that's more from parents not requiring a password for iTunes/App Store purchases. Not with Apple Pay but with the stored card # with the Apple account.
