Currently the countries that are generating the most money in the different Apple stores around the world are the United States, China and Japan. The turnover of these countries has been growing year after year until it is almost at par, something to take into account due to the great difference in population in each of the countries. In some countries Apple offers users the possibility that all purchases made through iTunes and related services are billed directly to the user, not through a credit card associated with the account, as in most of the world, but what it is included in the monthly bill for telephone consumption.

With the inclusion of Japan in this type of service, there are five countries where it is available. Precisely Taiwan and Switzerland have been the last countries where this option is also available and soon it will be Germany and Russia. At the moment not all operators are willing to offer this service in Japan where only the KDDI operator is offering it, but it is to be assumed that the rest of the operators will soon join. KDDI is the second telephony operator in Japan, a market led by ntt DoCoMo.

This function allows users who do not have or do not want to use their credit card to the operator bills them directly for all app purchases, music, movies even from services like Apple Music. In recent months we can see how Apple is only focusing on the countries that are really reporting benefits, leaving aside others such as Spain or the Latin market, where today for example we do not have Apple Pay available and at the moment we do not know awaits you despite the announcement made by Tim Cook at the beginning of the year, where Spain was among the "chosen."
