iPhone 14 Pro Max I can’t download anything from App Store. It tries to charge my debit card all different amounts every time I try why? I never had this issue other than the past month or so? What is going on? Do u actually have to pay to download apps on App Store?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18
You don't have to pay to download free apps. You may still need to have a credit card on file in order to do that. See step 2 here:
If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
It does appear you have a previous purchase that has not been paid and that will be processed when you add a card. You can view your Purchase History and any amount in red is a pending charging that still needs paid.
View your purchase history for the App Store and other Apple media services - Apple Support
If when you add a card you see a message that there was a problem with a previous purchase, then look here:
You will not be able to use the App Store to download any apps even if they are free, until you have resolved that issue.
Even free apps require a validated method of payment. Most free apps have “in-app” purchase options. Bottom line, many apps in the App Store are not free.
