It represents all the things Apple stands for. Like simplicity, transparency, security, and privacy. You can buy things effortlessly, with just your iPhone. Or use the Apple‑designed titanium card anywhere in the world.
Jeremy Horwitz for VentureBeat:
A little over two months ago, Apple released the first beta versions of iOS 12.4 and watchOS 5.3 — late point releases for its 2018 iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch operating systems, which were expected to lay the groundwork for the Apple Card credit card offering this summer. Today, final versions of both releases are going live on Apple’s servers…
For the time being, Apple’s early release notes don’t mention the Apple Card. But an announcement of that major new feature’s availability would likely arrive in its own separate press release when it’s ready to launch, and Apple has apparently been filing international trademarks to prepare for Card releases outside the United States.
iOS 12.4 is likely to be the last full point release to support both the iPad and iPhone, as Apple is splitting iPadOS off as its own tablet-specific operating system starting with iOS 13.
MacDailyNews Take: Soon. 🙂
Iv signed up to be notified first thing it is available … no direct news from Apple yet …
Probably the day of the iPhone announcement in late September. That would let them bang the gong again and also announce immediate availability. Might also only initially work with the new iPhones — might not too, just a guess
Early September a week after Labor Day.
It works with current iPhones. We’re out in the wild beta testing it now. And it’s great.
I’m out in the wild, and am pretty wild, can i beta test too??????
My wife has been surprising nearly everyone with her card for the past but of time when required to use contactless, the metrics have been proven to be quite valuable to track spending.
