I understand WHY companies do this, with respect to spam accounts and what not, but the false positives for real human users can be devastating, when every service and product connected to your account gets blocked/bricked.
Important detail: > The only thing Apple Card was paying for was the 2TB iCloud upgrade — and when I try to change the payment method, it refuses and says “Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes.” It's not hard to imagine a payment issue for iCloud causing iCloud to be locked or otherwise limited, and given that Apple's online services tend to be buggy and unreliable it's not a huge stretch to thi…
Are you suggesting it is a fraud detection? Which sounds like one if he was changing payment info. ( Like doing it with VPN )
Fraud detection is plausible too, though
So, little embarrassed to admit this, but: I plumb forgot to set up autopay on my Apple Card when I first got it. I set it up to pay a few subscriptions and promptly forgot about it. As a result, I carried a balance for I think three months without making payments, and only noticed when I hit my credit limit. This was an expensive mistake, and also dinged my credit score for about four months. Still kinda mad at myse…
> So, little embarrassed to admit this, but: I plumb forgot to set up autopay on my Apple Card when I first got it. Why is that embarassing? Why on earth would you set up auto-pay? That's just asking for a headache if anything is every compromised, or if a vendor fraudulently or accidentally overcharges you. Reversing charges from your bank is a headache, and rogue charges can quickly cascade into a series of overdra…
I've setup auto-pay on several accounts and left it running for over a decade. whatever issue I may have in the future would not exceed the amount of time wasted in manually paying each account.

It’s not even mandatory unless the app offers other auth providers like Google and Facebook. If your app is based around old fashioned email and password sign-in you don’t need to include Sign In with Apple at all.
But ugh please do. From the end user's perspective I 100% do not want to navigate your app's account creation process bouncing back and forth between my email client and your website and your app (if the redirect works, which it probably wont), and I 100% do not want to give your app my actual email address. Just implement apple's Auth flow. It's not that hard.

I regularly verify what transactions show up across my cards and you have 30 days to dispute anything.
10+ years and I never had an issue.
How come I am seeing surprising behavior from various Apple products multiple times a week at this point? Is it a new thing or is it just that they are huge and everyone is paying attention to them?
That doesn’t mean Facebook is somehow behind these posts, but their attempt could be working and causing people to report things more.

Yes, I don't think Apple Card has anything to do with it - I think his iCloud subscription was past due and that was that disabled his account - and then he found himself in a Catch 22 where he couldn't update/pay his Apple Card because he was locked out of iCloud. I'd imagine the same would have happened if he let his Visa card lapse.
Nope -- iCloud was not past due. It is an Apple Card policy.
