Apple Card

If you asked me what I though Apple was going to release at their March 25th event I never would have said credit card, but they did it. Apple has released their own credit card called Apple Card. I’m not really going to get in to the credit card side of this stuff if you want more of the credit card information like how it stacks up against other credit cards I put a link to The Verge’s article covering that stuff (http://bit.ly/2uCMjN3). I will be talking about digital side of the card. Their are two sides to the Apple Card,  the digital side, and the physical card. Similar to many other Apple services, the only way to sign up is using an iPhone. So if you use Android you are sadly out of luck and will not be able to use the Apple Card. Your main way of managing the Apple Card is using the wallet app where you can see your weekly and monthly spending, see what you spent in categories like Shopping or Food and Drink, and pay your bill. There are two ways of paying using the Apple Card. You can either use Apple Pay or Apple’s physical card. One of the main differences of Apple’s physical card compared to other credit card is their are no numbers, no CVV, and no expiration date. If you want to pay for something online you have to use the app to get your credit card number. Which is great for security, but a little annoying. Apple Card will not be available until this summer, but it definitely looks interesting.
