Apple Arcade, a subscription service providing access to hundreds of ad-free games for $6.99 per month, is praised by parents for its family-friendly approach. However, one parent suggests that Apple should introduce an 'always allow' feature for downloading Apple Arcade games, separate from the App Store's 'Ask to Buy' function. Currently, the 'Ask to Buy' feature requires parental approval for app downloads, which can be cumbersome. The proposed change would streamline the process, allowing children to explore and download games without constant oversight. Apple Arcade is accessible on various devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, and is included in Apple One bundles, making it an attractive option for families.
