How to Check Your Apple ID Balance on your iPhone

If you want to check your Apple ID balance on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you can do so by following these steps:

You will see a number of options such as  Quick Links, Redeem, and Send Gift along with your Apple ID and the Apple ID balance right under the Apple ID email. If you’re not signed in, you’ll need to tap the Sign In button and enter your Apple ID and password to see the balance.

Alternately,
