Like what 13-year-old needs all that happening?
So Apple is going to have to refund millions of dollars to consumers for allowing kids to make in-app purchases without their parents' permission.
Adam, do you know what an in-app purchase is?
I know that you're busy playing Candy Crush all the time.
So it used to be that if you wanted to purchase something through the iTunes store, you had to put in your password every time and they changed it so that you put in your password.
And then for a 15 minute window, you can just make more purchases without.
But it's actually for, for adults, it's a nice thing to not have to put it in every time for a little while.
Those kind of things that just renew automatically, especially if they're small amounts, are super insidious.
Because right now there's a couple $13, $12 things that I'm like, oh, did I cancel that?
I don't know.
But I kind of don't care enough to check.
You only know it when you don't have enough.
Definitely.
What amazes me is kids who can operate an iPhone before they can read and write.
And I think that is a very common thing.
Most kids, I think.

Yeah.
The analog version of that is that I used to scratch and sniff all my illustrated books that weren't even scratch and sniff.
So anyway, Apple will pay out at least $32.5 million.
