    No, that’s not optional on iPhone, you can’t even use their app store even for ‘free’ apps unless you enable their app store with a CC number.

    Unless something seriously changed since 2017 when I gave up on Apple…

      Didn’t even consider the App Store, I was busy thinking about the wallet. You’re right.

      Actually not true. I just set up a device for a friend the other day and absolutely skipped adding any payment info and was able to download apps. Why are you spreading so much misinformation?

        I did say ‘unless something has changed in recent years’

        Back when I was rebuilding and repairing iPhone 5/6 series and iPad 2/3 series this was most certainly true. Couldn’t use the app store for anything, not even free apps, without first entering in a CC number.

        Made absolutely no sense to me why it was that way, but it was.
