Apple Card Begins Arriving to Customers, Wide Range of Credit Scores Reportedly Being Approved

So no PIN required at the ATM? Both of the credit cards I carry require a PIN in order to get money from an ATM.
Each category has a assigned color. The card changed color to reflect the highest category you’ve spent on.
Now, if the physical card changes color...that'd be cool!
Same here. I signed up for notifications only after I started seeing the articles that Apple Card was starting to trickle out. Got my invite on Thursday. Applied today and got approved.

Rebuilding my credit as we speak. 660 fico score (653 in credit karma) and got approved for $2,500 23.99 APR. I believe annual income also plays a part in approval / denial.
I guess the physical card would really only ever be used/needed when traveling overseas?
With everything being digital these days, locally I've not needed to use a card for nearly 18 months.
With Apple Pay, PayID, wearables and cardless cash withdrawals from ATM's etc my credit card has not seen the light of day since. O/s I can only imagine that a card would be needed for ATM withdrawals or places where Apple Pay etc aren't accepted.

Now I’m curious how I did it Lol. I never set up a PIN on any of my credit cards.
Think of this common scenario.
What happens if you lose your phone/wearable, but still have your wallet? You still need to carry your driver’s license, right?
Most people carry a physical card because it’s just smarter to do so. The pros greatly outweigh the cons. If you are worried about bulk, they have super slim wallets.
Give me a break. They had a partnership with Barclaycard for 10+ years.
Now they have their own credit card that is very unique and has Apple’s aesthetic.
Apple is a large company. They can afford to have their hands in many pots.
There are lots of places in the US that don't take Apple Pay and I rarely carry any meaningful amount of cash. I use Apple Pay all the time but I would still need the physical card if I got an Apple Card.
Why is it so thick? Is this what the post-Ive Apple is all about? My BofA visa is thinner than this so there's a certain irony there...
The takeaway is that an Apple credit card seems to be getting way more attention than Samsung’s note 10.
Rough month for Samsung. I kinda understand why they chose to unveil their flagship a month before the iPhone, but ouch...

iPhones sales declined 12% year over year and are decreasing consecutively quarter after quarter. Apple has a huge problem that they’re ignoring.
Apple trade-in programme. Resale of 2nd hand iphones. Pivot to wearables and services. Apple is doing plenty to move beyond the iphones. You just aren’t acknowledging them.

It is if you only read Apple fan sites.
The Verge, CNET, Gizmodo and TechCrunch all have coverage of the Note 10 on their homepage. Only one mention of the Apple Card at the bottom of the Gizmodo homepage.
Maybe venture outside of the echo chamber now and again?
Because you bought something that will make you poo.
Your position makes no sense.
Apple has to sell services once their device count reaches levels we see today. 1.4B active devices with screens means you can and should offer a lot of services. If your iPhone handles payments, a credit card with rewards from Apple makes a ton of sense.
Apple has more reach today than in the past. Why you guys continue to live in the past is beyond me. This is a new, stronger company.
What the world really needs. Another credit card with loan shark type interest rates.
No and no... everything is done through the Wallet app. You can, however, download PDF copies of statements (https://9to5mac.com/2019/08/10/apple-card-pdf-statements/)
I think quite a few people were saying the same type of things when Apple decided to come with an “MP3 player” product.
Or they are basically dealing with reality of a maturing mobile phone market and diversifying, among other things.
