Apple's notification of a refund does not immediately mean the funds are back in your account. The discrepancy often lies in the processing time between Apple and your bank. After Apple initiates a refund, it can take a few days to a week for the transaction to be reflected in your account. It's advisable to check the transaction status after a few days and contact your bank if the refund does not appear within 10 days.
