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. Jewel Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 9, 2013, at 4:12 PM, Ricardo Walker <rwalker296@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, > > I’m totally confused.
