How to apply for Apple Card

Earlier this year, Apple announced the launch of their first credit card. Appropriately named, the Apple Card works like a regular credit card, offers Daily Cash, and sits nicely in your Wallet app for Apple Pay in addition to offering a physical card.

Pro tip: You can sign up to be notified when the card is available, and select users will receive an email invitation to apply early. To do so, visit the Apple Card page on Apple's website, click the Notify Me link in the upper right, and enter your email address. A few of us at iDB have confirmed that entering your email address to get notified is a good way to receive an invite early. After entering your email address, you should receive an invite within a few days.

So whether you fall into this group or are one who’ll wait a bit longer, here’s how to apply for the Apple Card when you’re ready.

FluidTabs lets you swipe between an open app’s tabs

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 13, 2019

You’ve undoubtedly happened upon an app on your iPhone in which tabs appear at the bottom of the interface for navigating said app. Many native apps, in addition to third-party downloads from the App Store, use this type of navigation interface.
