The first rumors about an Apple credit card appeared when Apple Pay was introduced in 2014. Now there are increasing indications that the plastic card with the Apple logo will be released soon.
The Wall Street Journal reported on such a credit card in May last year. According to the report, Apple is planning to issue a real, i.e. physical, credit card in collaboration with Goldman Sachs. A very important indication of this is the striking revision of the Wallet app - according to experts. Apple has been working on the smart app for a long time. Animations have been changed, the design revised and the functionality expanded. This is also underlined by the latest iOS 12.2 beta. According to the Wall Street Journal, the revision of the Wallet app serves to introduce an Apple credit card. For example, customers should be able to control limits and view rewards.
market launch later this year
In addition to the world-famous logo, the plastic will of course also have other advantages. Among other things, there will be general cashback promotions like other providers. The bonus will be even bigger when you buy Apple products - according to the WSJ. Due to the high level of acceptance, the Apple credit card will run via the Mastercard network. According to the report, some Apple employees will test the credit card themselves. The market launch is planned for this year - it is assumed that this will initially only be limited to the USA.
