There's a physical card you can use as well.

I'm not going to get an Apple credit card heh. But where did you see this info? They said the number & ccv would be available via the apple wallet app for use online (although you only get 1% back).

There’s an actual card number and CVV code associated with the card.

How is it private? Seems like all the metadata is still there...

afaiu from the announcement: Apple doesn’t know what you purchased, Goldman Sachs is not allowed to sell the data.

And Mastercard?

With the rise of smartphone payments like Samsung Pay, Android Pay and Apple Pay , is there even a need for credit cards?

How long until these companies start skipping payment processors like Visa and Mastercard and take the whole pie?

Innovative privacy features in exchange for sub-par rewards. RIP us North of the border, though.

Didn’t say. The card number will be unique to each device though.

Sure you can, you just have to pull the info from your wallet app.

I wish they had a debit card. I would love a debit card with all these features.
