All right, we haven't talked much about what's new in Iowa 17.4 other than the gigantic changes in the European Union.

So we should talk about something that's changing for Apple Cash.

So Apple Cash has historically been a way for users to send and receive money

sort of like Apple's version of Venmo, but it's also been available in Apple Pay. If you have an Apple Cash

Balance you can use it to check out on websites where Apple Pay is an option.

But there's never been a card number for your Apple Cash debit card that you can use on

websites where Apple Pay isn't an option.

So previously you'd always have to transfer from the cash card to a different account

before you could actually spend the money, right?

Correct. If you didn't want to use Apple Pay.

Right, yeah, if Apple Pay is not available.

So now in Iowa 17.4, there's like a new prompt that shows up in the wallet app

where you can set up a virtual card number that is linked to your

Apple Cash card. So this basically turns your Apple Cash card into like a proper debit card

where if you have money on your Apple Cash card and you're shopping online

you can choose to use Apple Pay if it's available or if it's not available you can just

auto fill your virtual card number. Pretty nice change. I think other

like PayPal has a prepaid debit card where you have a card number and everything

so this is kind of just Apple matching what PayPal and Venmo and others and Cash App have offered, so pretty cool change.

Yeah, and you get a unique security code, that's the three digit number for each transaction.

So I guess it helps with, if if your information gets stolen they can't

immediately make another payment because they still need to match the CVV number on the back
