Random Apple charges on my card

I don’t understand why, but I am constantly getting random charges on my card for all different amounts when I only have one current subscription as well as I haven’t purchased anything individually. Today I got one for $50 which I know for a fact I didn’t make. Anyone else constantly getting random charges from Apple?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

Yes, many users are now that U.S. and EU courts have forced Apple to give up control of App Store purchases. You can now either get an app off of the App Store, or side loading an app directly from the vendor.


Either way, those vendors can now charge you directly and the charges do not appear anywhere in Apple's system since it didn't go through them.


Apple predicted this would happen and vehemently fought the courts against them interfering with the operations of a private company. The courts didn't care/listen, and now consumers have this mess.
