Actually not true. I just set up a device for a friend the other day and absolutely skipped adding any payment info and was able to download apps. Why are you spreading so much misinformation?

I did say 'unless something has changed in recent years'

Back when I was rebuilding and repairing iPhone 5/6 series and iPad 2/3 series this was most certainly true. Couldn't use the app store for anything, not even free apps, without first entering in a CC number.

Made absolutely no sense to me why it was that way, but it was.
