What is "APPLE.COM/DAN" on my bank statement?
APPLE.COM/DAN is usually a legitimate Apple charge for digital content, apps, or subscriptions.
Merchant: Apple | Category: Digital Content
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Apple reflects a purchase at Apple, the technology company founded in 1976 that sells digital content, apps, subscriptions, and device services through the App Store, iTunes, Apple Music, and Apple TV. Apple operates more than 500 retail stores worldwide, but APPLE.COM/DAN is usually tied to an online digital transaction rather than a physical store visit. This descriptor is most often used for app purchases, in-app subscriptions, media downloads, iCloud storage, or family-shared Apple services. The charge is usually legitimate when a person in the household used an Apple ID, Touch ID, Face ID, or saved payment method to approve the purchase.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when an Apple account completes a purchase, renews a subscription, or confirms a family-sharing transaction. A common trigger is a monthly renewal for Apple Music, iCloud+, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, or an app subscription bought through the App Store. Another common trigger is a one-time purchase such as a movie rental, paid app, or in-app feature upgrade. The descriptor can also appear after a free trial ends and converts to a paid plan on the renewal date.
Typical Charge Amounts
Typical Apple digital charges are often $0.99, $1.99, $4.99, $9.99, $14.99, or $19.99 for apps, media, and subscriptions. Apple Music Individual is commonly $10.99 per month in the United States, and iCloud+ plans often post at $0.99, $2.99, $9.99, or higher depending on storage size. Some charges appear as temporary authorization holds for $1.00 or a small pending amount before the final transaction posts. Family purchases and annual renewals can post at larger amounts such as $49.99, $69.99, $99.99, or $129.99.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A legitimate Apple charge usually matches a recent app download, subscription renewal, or family purchase made with an Apple ID. Check your purchase history at https://reportaproblem.apple.com or in the App Store by tapping your profile and opening Purchase History. Review active subscriptions on an iPhone by going to Settings, tapping your name, and opening Subscriptions. If you do not recognize the charge, call Apple Support at 1-800-275-2273 and ask for the exact transaction details, including the Apple ID tied to the purchase.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Open Settings, tap your name, and select Subscriptions to cancel any active Apple subscription before the next renewal date. 2. Go to https://reportaproblem.apple.com to request a refund for an app, movie, or subscription charge that you do not want. 3. If the charge is unauthorized, contact Apple Support at 1-800-275-2273 and ask them to identify the Apple ID, device, and purchase time. 4. If Apple cannot resolve it, contact your bank or card issuer and file a card dispute while you keep screenshots of the statement line, receipt emails, and subscription history. Apple’s refund decisions are case-specific, and digital purchases are often nonreturnable once the content has been delivered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Apple charge show as APPLE.COM/DAN?
APPLE.COM/DAN is a common Apple billing descriptor for App Store purchases, subscriptions, or media charges. It can appear when a free trial converts to a paid plan, when a family member buys an app, or when Apple posts a renewal for iCloud+, Apple Music, or another service tied to your Apple ID.
How do I cancel my Apple subscription?
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions and choose the plan you want to cancel. You can also manage subscriptions in the App Store account page or at https://reportaproblem.apple.com, and cancellation stops the next renewal but does not always refund the current billing period.
Why is my Apple charge a different amount than expected?
Apple charges can differ because of taxes, annual billing, family sharing, or a temporary authorization hold that later changes to the final amount. A small $1.00 or similar pending charge may appear first, and the posted amount can be higher once the full app, subscription, or in-app purchase is settled.
Can APPLE.COM/DAN be a family member's purchase?
Yes, APPLE.COM/DAN can be a family member’s purchase if Family Sharing is enabled and purchase sharing is turned on. In that case, the charge may post to the organizer’s payment method even when another person in the household used the Apple ID to buy the app, movie, or subscription.
What phone number should I call for an Apple billing question?
For Apple billing questions in the United States, call 1-800-275-2273. Have the statement descriptor, transaction date, and the last four digits of the card ready, because Apple can use that information to trace the Apple ID and purchase record.
