According to a new report from Bloomberg, the launch of the Apple Card is imminent. Customers based in the U.S. should be able to order the new credit card at some point during the first half of August.
Rumor has it that the most recent update of iOS contains everything needed for the Apple Card. The company can flip a server-side switch in order to launch the card.
