Apple Card 2.0 will have FindMy/AirTag built in?

[bushman4]

I think lots of people wish AirTags were easier to use with a wallet.

Does anyone else see a future play where the Apple Credit Card has some sort of FindMy/AirTag system built-in? Not only is it your credit card, but also a loss and theft prevention tool for your wallet? These wallet Tile devices have been getting slimmer and slimmer.

I think it is well within Apple's abilities to put FindMy in the Apple Card... barring any issues with NFC/swipe/chip... Thoughts?

Never happen as Apple is selling the AIRTAGS not giving them away in the Applecard
Now whether Apple changes their design and make the AirTag flat so that it can fit in a wallet that’s a different story. Time will tell

I go places where I can't take in anything with a radio. Such as a phone. Or an Apple Watch. If they added airtag capability to the Apple Card, I wouldn't be able to take that in either.

The only businesses that don't take it are ones that don't want to pay to upgrade their machines for NFC. If it was paid for them like in other countries I think they would be all for it, even if they have to pay a miniscule amount more in fees.

Not necessarily so. Stores such as HEB, walmart, kroger and home depot in the US already made that investment and have had nfc capable machines for years (example:home depot used ingenico isc 250 pinpads and then upgraded to lane 7000 pinpads in 2020, both models with built in nfc), but they deliberately keep the nfc readers turned off and only use the machines for chip and magnetic stripe. Likewise for Walmart, Home Depot and HEB stores in Mexico.

Good point. Walmart wants their customers to use Walmart Pay by scanning a QR code. Any ideas why Home Depot doesn’t want to accept NFC payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay?

I was at mom and pop store that has Square and they either deliberately turned off NFC or didn’t know how to step it up.

I actually think Apple have indicated that they’ve No interest in baking find my functionality into obvious products. Ahem , Apple TV remote.

yes! And when is precision finding coming to apple watch series 6? It already has the U1 chip built in (something that apple did not mention ontage) so all we need is a software update.

Complete waste of time IMO. And environmentally unfriendly. If you lose your credit card just cancel it and order a replacement.
