Excited for Apple Card? Here’s how you’ll apply in just a few minutes!

Ready to get your new Apple Card application sent off? It's much easier than you think.

Apple Card is the biggest hyped credit card since Magnises. Apple recently launched its application process web page, which includes a video detailing how to apply.

Just because the Apple Card is Apple's next big thing, doesn't mean you should run out and get one. Remember, this could affect your credit score (and may put you deeper in debt than you've budgeted for). If, however, you've thought about it and have come to the responsible decision to apply for an Apple card, here's how.

Note: Apple Card sign-up appears to currently only be available in a preview capacity. You'll need an invitation from Apple to the Apple Card preview to apply.

If you're hearing the buzz about Apple Card, but can't seem to find it anywhere on your iPhone (hint: it's inside the Wallet app), it might be that you still haven't updated your iPhone to iOS 12.4 or later.

1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap Software Update.
4. Tap Download and Install.
5. Enter your Passcode if prompted.
6. Agree to the Terms and Conditions.
7. Tap Agree to confirm.
