Apple Shares Details on Cleaning and Protecting Your Apple Card in New Support Document

[iosuser]

This is kind of funny, surprising, and expected all at the same time lol. I really don't blame Apple for preempting the incoming complaints about stained cards.

This sort of reminds me when the iPad Pro 9.7 was first released, people were complaining that their new iPads were vibrating from its new four speaker sound system pumping out greater volume and bass. Sound is usually produced when something vibrates, the loud the sound the harder the vibration, right?

What are the charges for re-issuance of a lost or damaged card?

 

[jakebrosy]

So the cards are as sturdy as the iPhones. No surprise there.

My Citi/AAdvantage card has a couple of scratches on it from sliding it across counters but has so far held up fairly well...

 

[Awsaim]

...just request a new card. Spare yourself the embarrassment of babying a credit card.

I got the physical card because I wanted it but in actual use I’m guessing I’d rarely use it.

The digital card in the wallet is where it’s at.

Nah, they are trying to find out if people are stupid enough to click on their link/video to make them money

+1 Definitely not stupid enough

I've got a wallet, but where can I get a proper case for my Apple Card?

Apple recommends using a European carryall

This is almost as big a joke as the $300 book with photographs of products.

It must be Jony's last design laugh - looks great, completely unusable in the real world.

 

[DDMaKeeg]

But will it Blend?

 

[R3k]

Wait, doesn’t Apple Pay make a physical card obsolete?

It will, in time.

 

[Analog Kid]

And of course they had to make it white instead of "space gray" or some finish that would wear the inevitable scuffs and nicks better.

Wait, I think I just figured it out: Space Gray will be reserved for Apple Card Pro.

Do you think they’ll put out a version that is “unapologetically plastic”?

 

[seadragon]

Someone did a test where they ran over the card with a car. The card ended up flat!

 

[justperry]

It's official, Joni went to the nuthouse.

Kidding aside, this is just silly, it's a ffing card.

 

[kaneda]

Wooohooo I don't have to wear pants anymore!! Good job Apple! Great design!

Congratulations!! You're the 5th person in this thread to ask/post this.

It's true. but these jokes die hard.

 

[Musocat]

OK, I had to laugh.

I'm wondering tho... if you hand it to a waiter and it comes back scratched, can you sue?

Apple requires that you use the Apple Card only at Apple Authorized restaurants for your own safety.

 

[california_kid]

Dang, I just used my Chase metal credit card to scrap gum off my shoe. Guess Apple CC is not for me....

 

[ZeitGeist]

It's not the card that needs protecting, but the white finish (not that I care anymore, since all the cards in my wallet are scratched up from inserting them into card readers anyway). The American Express Platinum is made in plain stainless steel, while the Apple Card not only has a coating, but one in white, which is already impossible to keep clean.

In other words - once again something impractical designed by Jony Ive. I guess it’s his going away product, and also the thinnest Apple product possible to design.

Good grief. Next it’ll come with Apple Care +

Only if you opt out of the arbitration clause.

 

[danpass]

lots of winning posts on the first page lol

I'm wondering who will be the first to paint it black (leaving the apple white, or perhaps painting the apple red ... or green )

You can make sheep do anything.

 

[Wags]

I can’t express just how unbelievably tragic this is. No card I have comes with such care instructions. You can’t put it in a leather wallet or a jeans pocket. Where is it expected to be stored? On a cupboard shelf in its own special cas?

Maybe we need ‘Post your Apple Card set up’ thread

apple holding that back for next big thing
