Through the Apple Card, users can effortlessly keep up to date with their monthly purchases and transactions. Through algorithms, Apple will also inform users on the most efficient way to pay interest on transactions made through the Apple Card. By working together with the Maps app on iOS, the Apple Card will also give users geolocation data of their purchases. Finally, the service will also classify transactions in categories to help customers keep track of the areas in which most of their money is flowing. Additionally, iPhone purchases made through the Apple Card won't require interest on monthly payments for up to 12 months.

Purchases made using the Apple Card from Apple, Uber, Uber Eats, T-Mobile, Walgreens, and Duane Reade will offer users a 3% cashback. Purchases made from other companies will give users a 1% cashback. The service will further bind users inside the iOS ecosystem and let Apple manage a greater part of their lives. But, the company will have to rely on a lot more if it's to make Services make up for the drop in iPhone revenues. But maybe it won't come to that given that Apple's widely rumored to launch a 5G iPhone next year.
