Apple really can't be told to do something against their will. It always has to have "the last word" and this behavior isn't new, the Korean Appstore debacle is just an example.
Of course there are "reasons", but let's be honest if Apple really wanted to comply and move on to better things this whole problem wouldn't even exist because Apple would have fixed it.
- sschueller 4y agoYup, Apple is probably the biggest global vendor in Switzerland that refuses to accept Swiss payment methods like Twint[1] or the now defunct PostFinance card[2]. It's such an Issue that every time you do anything in the Apple store they constantly tell you, we don't accept ..., make sure your have another payment method when you pickup your device. BTW, they still charge a ~10% premium in Switzerland compared to the rest of Europe, just because.

- sschueller 4y agoLooks like I was wrong. It has been a while since I checked. I guess the inflation in the rest of Europe really hit hard in comparison to Switzerland.
- InCityDreams 4y agoHow much did yours cost?
- itg 4y agoI'm pretty sure EU can have the "last word" here by blocking sales of iPhone in the EU. Apple has become an expert lately at malicious compliance.
