Can you cancel your
Apple
 subscription? Check eligibility and conditions

Yes, you can cancel - but timing is everything.

You can cancel Apple Store orders as long as they haven’t entered “Preparing to Ship” or “Shipped” status. For in-store pickups, you can cancel anytime before collection. If the cancellation window is missed, you can still return the item within 14 days of delivery for a full refund (conditions apply).

For subscriptions (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple TV+, etc.), you can cancel anytime via your device. The subscription continues until the current billing period ends. No penalties, no lock-in. Just remember:

  • Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal to avoid the next charge.

  • Built-to-order items (like custom Macs) may move quickly so act fast if you change your mind.

Apple makes cancellation flexible, just act early and you won’t be charged.

How to cancel a
Apple
 subscription, service or order

🛒 To cancel an online Apple Store order:

  1. Go to Apple’s Order Status page and log in.

  2. Select the order, click “Cancel Items”, confirm.

  3. If cancellation is allowed, the order will update to “Cancelled”, and a refund is initiated.
    🚫 If it says “Preparing to Ship”, you must wait for delivery and return the item instead.

📱 To cancel a subscription (Apple Music, TV+, iCloud, apps):

  • On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions

  • On Mac: Open App Store > Account Settings > Manage Subscriptions

  • Select the service > “Cancel Subscription”

You’ll still have access until the end of the billing period. For trial plans, cancel 24+ hours before expiry to avoid being charged.

How long does a
Apple
 cancellation take?

  • Store orders: Cancel before your order ships. Once it’s in “Preparing to Ship,” cancellation is locked, but you still have a 14-day return window after delivery.

  • Subscriptions: Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. For trials, do it before the trial ends to avoid being billed.

  • Refunds: Most refunds are processed within 5–7 business days. Apple initiates them instantly once cancellation or return is confirmed. Payment method impacts timing (credit card, Apple Gift Card, etc.).

Keep a close eye on your order or subscription renewal date, it’s your window to act.

Apple
 cancellation fees and final charges – what to expect

✅ Apple does not charge any cancellation or return fees.

  • Orders cancelled before shipment = full refund.

  • Returns within 14 days = full refund (even on most shipping fees).

  • Subscriptions = no charge after current period ends.
    Even AppleCare+ cancellations get a prorated refund (minus any claims).
