NEW YORK: Apple Inc has changed how purchases inside iPhone and iPad games are authorised after customers complained that their kids were racking up hundreds of dollars worth of charges.
The issue was that after a user entered his or her iTunes password on a device, the device didn’t prompt for the password again for 15 minutes. Any purchases, whether in the iTunes store or inside kid-friendly games such as The Smurf’s Village, went through without a new password prompt.
