As reported by Mashable, this development indicated that Apple users will now be able to make payments using made in India payment systems as well as international payment systems such as credit cards and debit cards when adding funds to Apple’s stores.
Besides, the balance can be used to pay for streaming services namely Netflix and Amazon Prime, and Apple’s own services like Apple Arcade and Apple One.
