Android’s 15-minute refund window is hardly enough time to decide whether an app hits the mark. Though short, that’s still 15 more minutes than iOS users have with purchases from the App Store — until today. Apple has amended its terms and conditions for the Taiwan App Store, including a statement saying users can be reimbursed within seven days of receiving the purchased product once all copies are deleted.
The move comes on the heels of pressure by Taipei’s city government to meet the city’s consumer protection act. Google was also urged to change its Android Market return window, but failed to budge and settled with a fine. Why did Apple decide to play ball and will the UK be next to land a seven-day refund policy?
