I have a debit card and I've used it to buy items on the App Store. Now it's not accepting the debit card anymore and demands a new card to buy/update apps.

  • And this is an actual Apple-branded iPhone, not an Android, correct?

Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems.

The available payment methods vary by country. You can typically use these methods:

  • Credit cards
  • Content codes
  • Store credit, including iTunes Store Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and Allowances
  • ClickandBuy
  • PayEase
  • PayPal
  • UnionPay (requires SMS PIN for setup)

So if you can use PayPal as payment type in the iTunes store. Open a PayPal account, hook up your debit card. And you up and running again.

Please check the (usually) free phone support - they will help you quickly and can tell you about why this happens. Happened to me - wouldn't take my cc card. Account was flagged, flag got removed within 20 sec - continue to the app store
