Gurman: iOS 17 Wallet App May Show Additional Credit Card Balances

[erikkfi]

This would give me a reason to use the app way more often, but I doubt my regional bank will be compatible any time soon even if they do open it up.

 

[alexandr]

Maybe it can 'lose' my credit card balances like the savings account lost folks money.

Doubtful, I don't think it works that way. Your balances may increase though

 

[DotCom2]

I would like the Apple Savings account to be its own card instead of drilling down in the Apple Card.

 

[vegetassj4]

Release emoji's in 17.1

Release rapid security response in 17.1.1a, release fix to rapid security response error in 17.1.1a?

 

[VulchR]

I do think this is progress, but the paranoid part of me doesn't want balance information on the lock screen for the whole world to see (particularly with debit cards).

EDIT: I missed that this seems to be only for the app.

100% agree! I have a feeling that will happen.

On the Lock Screen?..

 

[VulchR]

On the Lock Screen?..

Ah... This is for the app only it seems. Never mind.

 

[snak-atak]

I don't think I'm alone on this one, but I'd really like to see the ability to share the Savings Account with account co-owner. I honestly can't believe this wasn't part of it from the jump.

Agreed. I'm sure it will come, just a matter of when?

 

[sjsharksfan12]

I would love more integration with companies like Chase, Discover, and Citi with the Apple Wallet. It will be the one stop shop for budget needs.

 

[DotCom2]

Also, I would like the ability to put a note next to a charge like I can in Quicken.

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

After this rumored WWDC showcase extraordinaire, will all of the credit listed be tagged MAXED?

Maybe with a question below asking about spare kidneys?

And perhaps some gig economy options to quickly raise some additional cash?

 

[Rigby]

Uhm, I get that people might find this useful, but I hope my bank will not just share my account balances with Apple without my consent. That seems like a privacy issue.

 

[dontwalkhand]

I’d love for my Chase cards etc to show physical card transactions like my Apple Card does. This is literally all I want from the wallet app.

 

[dontwalkhand]

I would hope that they would be able to display transaction level information for third-party cards, too. That's what I miss the most about non-Apple Card cards in Wallet -- you only see transactions made with that device. I'd prefer to see a running transaction log, just like I see in there for the Apple Card, and each credit card's proprietary app.

Especially if some card companies still to this day don’t do push notifications!

 

[dontwalkhand]

They're gonna do this but still not let me link my Apple card to budgeting applications?

From what I’m reading, They want the Apple wallet to be your budgeting app.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

From what I’m reading, They want the Apple wallet to be your budgeting app.

They’ve got a looooooong way to go.

 

[alexandr]

Ah... This is for the app only it seems. Never mind.

Ja... But at what point did you expect this to appear on the lock screen, though. Just curious)

 

[alexandr]

I would like the Apple Savings account to be its own card instead of drilling down in the Apple Card.

I just went into my wallet and remembered how much it irritated me that "Pay Later" is its own card. That makes no sense to me, yet they did that...

 

[RoarinRow]

Off topic, but the person has a 40K + line of credit. Wow!

 

[Alan Wynn]

Uhm, I get that people might find this useful, but I hope my bank will not just share my account balances with Apple without my consent. That seems like a privacy issue.

My understanding is that you have already consented when you purchased your iPhone. In addition, Apple will be hosting this data on a public website with no passwords (for ease of access), and will submit it for spidering to Google.

 

[Robert.Walter]

Apple under Cook in a nutshell.

iOS17 translation:
June WWDC: Announce this new feature.
October: Promote this new feature with the new iPhone 15.
Mid November: Announce new feature will be available in the near future.
April 2024: Release the new feature in the 17.4 update.

Apple never said any or all new features would roll out in day 1.

It’s unrealistic to expect that.

 

[newyorksole]

I go into the Wallet app a LOT as it is lol this will make me go in even more.

looking forward to all of the Wallet updates!

 

[Neepman]

It's too bad the simple elegance of the wallet app is about to become a S-Show.

 

[centauratlas]

That would be an awesome feature

I hope that Apple does this in the new iOS 17

I do a lot of my financial services with Bank of America so I hope that they add this to the Apple Wallet

If they can do that, then they can tap into special offers for various cards and then pick the correct one for the location. Eg if you are at a restaurant then it would use the card with the largest reward. Or buying tickets for travel. The Apple Card at apple and some places for 3% Etc.

Some cards rotate that every quarter or limit it to the first $1000 etc.
