  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.

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

  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 European law, or how does that work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is placing warnings on EU apps that don’t use App Store payments⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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.
