“When you create an account on a developer’s external website, you may have to provide personal information, including payment information, directly to the developer or third-party partners,” Apple says in a support page linked from its warning message. “You will be trusting the developer, as well as any partners and payment providers they work with, to handle your information based on their privacy and security controls.”

Apple acting like they’re the only ones who know how to securely transfer money…

That’s a new low because that’s likely a permanent smear on some developers. Seems like it’s a pretty dumb idea, I can’t believe think they can get away with this.

There is a kernel of truth to this.

I do prefer to have things go though Apple Pay.

But I wish there was a less nasty way to go about the messaging.
