Apple has changed its payment systems in India, asking people to remove their debit/credit card details to buy apps and other items off the App Store. This week, the company has sent a mailer to its users in the country, asking them to sign up via different modes of payment so that they can buy apps for their iPhones using the App Store.
The change has been brought about after the new ruling from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which has ordered all companies to realign with card payments.
