There are enough shady apps, especially games, on both stores already without them asking you to enter your credit card details. At least with the current system you can set up parental controls.
I think allowing apps to process their own payments is a recipe for disaster and will open up the floodgates for apps, especially games, trying to trick kids into purchasing expensive in-app crap.
- arsome 6y agoWouldn't that make it harder for kids to buy crap instead of easier? Parental controls or not if they have access to the card then they know exactly what they're doing and can go about it in any number of ways. The main issue here is single button purchases, not full CC entry.
- francislavoie 6y agoIt's not just about payment processing, it's about the size of the fees.
- the_hoser 6y agoWhile we're at it, let's not let websites process payments either. Or retailers. Or restaurants. Or anyone. Apple knows best, right?
