Folks, I hate to say this, but what Apple's doing is just not that
unreasonable. As many have pointed out, if you don't have a credit or debit
card, buy a gift card and set up your account. You can get a gift card for
$10, that's just not that much money. Once you've done that, you can do
whatever upgrading and purchasing of free apps you need to do. I'm sorry, but
I'm blind and I've worked my whole ****** life. Right now I'm working a job
that I hate, but at least it's a job. If you're on a fixed income, maybe start
thinking about how to change that.
Sorry if this is bitchy, but I see no reason *at *all why someone who is blind
has to be on a fixed income.

The problem is that many disabled people are on fixed incomes. For example, I
run out of money long before the month is through. I should still be able to
get free apps, download apps I already purchased but are not currently on my
device, and schedule genius bar appointments. Without money, I have no access
to even change the password on the lock screen because the Apple password is
essentially broken until their or is money available. Buying a gift card to
leave money on is essentially the same as requiring a deposit, a bad move on
Apple's part imo.
And please don't lecture me on budgeting. I get $700 each month and somehow
don't qualify for food stamps.

Hi,
I’m totally confused. How would Apple Know if you have money in your bank
account or not?

This means if you use a debit card, if you run out of money, you cannot do
anything requiring an Apple password. I
I am going to complain to Apple about this and I hope many will join me in
this. Not everyone has a credit card and not everyone has available funds all
the time.
