How can Apple let people accidentally make purchases? Wouldn't anything charging to your credit card need an Apple pop-up with the listed price/rate to appear and you to accept it? I know people click "OK" to anything, but this seems obvious. I don't use an iPhone, so I'm not sure how it works but it seems pretty sketchy to allow apps to make arbitrary charges without any user confirmation.

This is probably part of the reason that the payment popup became much more obtrusive (and incidentally nicer) in iOS 11. It doesn't look like a normal alert anymore.
