The Apple ID payment method serves as more than simply a means of accessing various Apple services. You may use your Apple ID alone to make purchases or subscribe to services for usage on individual devices or across the family by linking a payment method to your account.
Payment methods may encounter a number of problems, including account closures, card expiration, and data upgrades. Thus, unless you update, change, or add a new payment method on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you won’t be able to make purchases or subscribe to services. See many methods for doing so by reading on.
