Apple trying to charge me

Every time I open up the App Store and try to install something, it won’t let me and prompts me to enter in my password. Upon doing so it shows me my billing info and when I confirm my payment method it tries to charge $16.65, I have no idea what this is for. To be honest, I really don’t want to be charged and dispute the claim later, I just want to know what’s wrong.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

That probably is your pending charge.


Unknown Charge?

  1. App Purchase
    1. Curious about a Charge? --> If you see an 'itunes.com/bill' or an unfamiliar charge on your statement
    2. If you have an issue with an app on App Store or billing --> Request a refund for an App Store or iTunes Store
  2. Subscriptions
    1. You may view a subscription to an app --> See or cancel your subscriptions - Apple Support
    2. You can also request a refund for a recent renewal of an in-app subscription purchase 


Avoid accidental purchases

  1. If it is your device then, please --> Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple ... before handing over a device to a child.
  2. If it is your child's device then in the future, enable the Ask to Buy feature --> Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
