No, Apple does not have the ability to stop a transaction. Only the merchant and the issuing bank can stop a transaction.


Transaction information goes from your iPhone to the merchant and then to their gateway (card processor), then to the payment network operator (Visa, Mastercard etc.), then to the bank for approval or decline. The information is encrypted on your iPhone and at no point is Apple provided any information about the payment or payment etc.
