Apple probably thought it was doing everyone a favour when it introduced a two-week refund policy for iTunes and App Store purchases in Europe. But of course, as is always the way with technology, if there's an unintended flaw hidden away you can guarantee someone will find it. On this occasion it was 9to5Mac, who discovered that anyone can keep a recently purchased app on their device, even after Apple has processed the refund for it. The apps aren't removed and the user isn't locked out, so there was nothing to stop savvy iPhone and iPad owners from abusing the system. Well, it appears Apple has already taken note. If you refund too many items, you'll now be greeted with a warning message that effectively locks you out of the refund policy. It won't stop determined users from claiming a few free apps, but it should mean Apple can keep a lid on a potentially dubious practice.
