Apple doesn’t want your hard earned cash
Or your gift cards for that matter. Since when did one of the few nations to somewhat successfully run on a fiat monetary system stop accepting cash anywhere as an acceptable form of payments, let alone in the retail industry?

Then they decide they won’t take gift cards either, I am pretty sure its almost always been a policy to not take checks, so you are left with credit or debit, both easily traceable mediums. I reckon Apple is just supporting big brotherism to keep people from reselling iPhones that are hacked, unlocked, or otherwise altered.
