Changing region

[JohnRckr]

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know whether if I change region in App Store from - to be specific - a region where apple books and apple tv+ is available, to region where it is not [i recently moved to a different country] will my movies and books dissapear? The ones that i bought already? I could also not switch but for some reason if i wont then i cannot add my devit card into apple pay, which is a huge bummer. Thanks for help

This used to big thing people talked about when people with hundreds or even thousands of movies and TV shows on iTunes moved countries, changed their region, and lost access to some of them (in particular those only available in the region where they purchased them). I cannot give you a conclusive answer, nor can I tell you how (or whether) you can check what content survives after changing regions.

But one thing is certain: if you do want to use your new debit card you must change regions—that’s because the card’s billing address must coincide with the region you’re shopping in.

EDIT: i just noticed you’re talking about ApplePay. I have no experience with this, either, but I would have thought that debit cards on apple pay should be independent of the iTunes region of the phone? They have nothing to do with each other after all.

Thanks for the reply. It is true that Apple Pay cards should function differently, I will be sure to try to add the card I use for paying into apple pay only, we will see what it will do.
