I really thought that with Apple subscriptions you had to confirm it in some way.

Like using TouchID or FaceID.

I didn’t realize Apple could just be like “hey, here’s a free month of Apple Music … also we’re gonna charge you next month!”

Seems super scammy. Similar to the U2 debacle that happened years ago.

It's totally a dark pattern, but one that unfortunately way too many companies use.
