A new card for more comfortable purchases

There’s been in the code about the new “Apple Account Card” since iOS 15.5 Beta 1, and Apple didn’t reveal it then.

Thanks to Steve Moser for peeping into the code and revealing the awesome feature long before it’s actually released.

And it’s now official — Apple pushes in Apple Account Card into the Wallet app! Silently, without any notification.

The only requirement to use it: update your device to iOS 15.5. If you’ve already updated, it’s already available.

But what’s it, exactly?

This is the upgraded version of the former iTunes Pass. It’s directly connected to your Apple ID funds.

With this card, you’ll be able to use your existing funds for buying products in an Apple store, or for paying for apps, movies, music, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in the Apple ecosystem.

Do my words sound too complex? No problem. Simply treat the card as your debit card that could be used for buying anything of Apple, or in Apple.

After you activate it, the card will appear in your Wallet app.

And anytime you’d like to make a purchase in an Apple store, you can use the NFC-payment method on your iPhone or Apple Watch, as it’s a virtual card.
