   That doesn't reference the "App Store" at all and only references   
   "iCloud" once:   
      
   'After you update your Apple Account billing address and payment method,   
   you can upgrade your iCloud+ plan using the pricing in your new country   
   or region.'

   "Token" doesn't appear in that page.   
      
   Not once.

   More assertions not supported by what is actually written there.

   Those links show nothing of the kind.

   Quote the parts that make your assertions true.
