Collected URLs on the new Apple card for those who like to read up

I’m not going to go thru all the pros and cons here. Here’s my bottom line opinion — if you already use Apple Pay, apply for the Apple Card in your Wallet. The 2% cash back justifies it (even compared to the Amazon Prime Card) and the financial management features are fun. Don’t bother ordering the titanium card as it’s a nuisance to store and you probably already have another credit card in your wallet with a 1% or more cash back feature.

Any other information you need is in one or more of these articles. Just remember you apply in Wallet which means you can get an Apple Card only if you have an iPhone.
