The Apple Card recently rolled out to a limited number of customers via the Wallet app, and some customers are beginning to receive their physical, titanium Apple Card in the mail.
Over at The Verge, Nilay Patel shared photos of his Apple Card. The card was revealed to be thicker than his other metal and plastic credit cards, weighing in around 14.75, making it slightly heavier than the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card but lighter than an American Express Platinum.
Aaron Andino shared the following unboxing video of his Apple Card, the card and packaging remaining consistent with pre-launch photos that had leaked out into the ether.
The physical Apple Card, made out of titanium, features a clean design with an Apple logo, a chip, and a name. There’s no card number or expiration date on the card, nor is there a CVV on the back. Instead, these details are stored in the Wallet app for added security in the event the card is lost or stolen.
The back of the card features Goldman Sachs and Mastercard logos as well as a mag stripe. Goldman Sachs serves as the Apple Card’s issuing bank, and Mastercard is handling payment network responsibilities.
Later this month, Apple will allow all U.S. residents age 18 or older to apply for the card. So far, it appears that Goldman Sachs is being quite lenient with approvals, and it’s been reported that some customers with credit scores in the 600s have been approved, albeit with lower credit limits and higher APRs.
When fully available, iPhone users can apply for the Apple Card in the Wallet app within minutes and take advantage of features such as 1-3 percent in daily cash back, color-coded spending summaries, and no fees. Just ahead of launching, the card’s APR range was lowered to 12.99-23.99 percent.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
