How to apply for Apple Card on iPhone and iPad

Whether you want to take advantage of the 0% interest offers for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more or have been wanting to get Apple’s credit card for while for another reason, follow along for how to apply for Apple Card on iPhone and iPad.

Apple Card offers a variety of compelling features like its Daily Cash program, strong focus on security and privacy, no fees, a clean, optional Titanium physical card, and a great software experience to track spending and more on iPhone.

While Apple has offered free iPhone financing to Apple Card users for some time, a new addition is the ability to get 0% interest financing for iPad, Mac, AirPods, and more. The interest-free period ranges from 6-12 months depending on the product you’re buying. There’s also a $50 sign up bonus promotion through 7/31/2020.

Here are some of the requirements for Apple Card eligibility:

• Be 18 years or older, depending on where you live
• Be a U.S. citizen or a lawful U.S. resident with a valid, physical U.S. address that is not a P.O. Box. You can also use a military address
• Have a compatible iPhone with the latest iOS version (iPhone 6 or later)
• Using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID and be signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID

Apple works with Goldman Sachs to provide the financial end of Apple Card.
