You can download free apps, but you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free. 

Free apps has also In-app pruchase.

You can have a credit card / debit card on file and an Apple Account balance.

If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method and you have a CC / debit card, you pay from your default payment method.


Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details -> https://appleid.apple.com                                                     

  • On the Sidebar click Payment methods -> then tap Payments Methods and tap Manage payment method.
