Do you recall the new services that Apple unveiled this past March? This was the company’s announcement with a new focus beyond mere hardware and one of the announcements made was the Apple credit card or simply the Apple Card – one designed to work only within the Apple Wallet app with option to obtain a physical one.
Well, the company has partnered with Goldman Sachs and started rolling out the card to users that initially applied for it. There are plans to make it available to all iPhone users in the US later this month.
Apple said that the card would make payment tracking much clearer, with an easy-to-understand rewards program, and no interest fees charged.
How to apply for the Apple card
There are five simple steps to follow to apply for the Apple card. You just need to open the Wallet app; Tap the + button; Tap the Apple logo; Fill in your information details; and Accept the terms.
The information fed in goes to Goldman Sachs’ servers for approval after which users can then apply for a titanium physical card as well.
After this, your card will be mailed to you and you will need to activate it.
How to activate your card
When you get your card, you just need to open the packaging, wake your iPhone, hold the card NFC sticker near your phone, and tap activate.
How to use your Apple card
You can use the card for both online and in-store payments. For online shopping, select Apple Pay then authenticate the payment with Face ID. For in-store shopping, you can use any of Apple Pay or contactless payment at the store.
Among the other things that the company announced include Apple TV+, Apple News+, Apple Arcade and we expect each of these to roll out as the year progresses.
