Does Apple's TOS allow this?

IIRC, Credit card companies used to disallow different pricing for cash and CC.

They also do not allow you to mention or even imply the existence of their fee. Nor do they allow you to so much as link to an external website that provides other payment options, nor mention the existence of such a website.

no. you can't even mention other payment methods

Like you can’t mention on package of your product in Walmart that your product is cheaper on your website. No business allows this.

I don't know about USA but over here it's very common for manufacturers to print their MSRP on their packaging. Retailers are free to charge whatever price they want, the MSRP is simply the recommended price. It's not unusual for retailers to charge more.

> No business allows this

IIRC, Progressive Insurance? had car insurance ads where they said that they'd show insurance rates for similar coverage from the competitors next to their quote.
