Your Apple Card changes colors depending on what you buy - here's how it works
Your Apple Card changes colors depending on what you buy - here's how it works
When you first receive your Apple Card, it will look totally blank inside the Wallet app, like so.
YouTuber Marques Brownlee noticed that once he made his first purchase with the Apple Card, the white card in his Wallet app immediately changed color, adding a big splotch of this orange hue.
The Apple Card in your Wallet app adds a little bit of color to the overall gradient depending on your spending habits.
This image shows all of the possible spending categories, and their respective colors. If you use the Apple Card on flights and hotels, more green should show up on your card; do more shopping, and you'll see more yellow.
Apple also uses these color-coded categories to visualize your spending habits on a daily and weekly basis. In the example below, the user did lots of shopping at the beginning of the month, but paid for more entertainment and services towards the end of the month.
Of course, this is a great incentive to use the Apple Card: If you really want to understand how you spend, these graphs and visualizations provide feedback in a way that's easy to understand.
