Apple refunds are typically returned to the original payment method used during the purchase. This means that if you used a credit or debit card, the refund would generally be processed back to that card. If you used Apple Store credit or a gift card, the refund would be credited back to your Apple ID balance. Keep in mind, processing times may vary depending on the bank or payment provider, so it's wise to check the expected timeframe when expecting a refund.
