"Poorly designed" may be subjective, but do you happen have any evidence to support your claim that Apple Card "scratches and stains too easily"?

Here's an article pointing out Apple's warning not to put these cards into leather wallets. I'm guessing they want you to carry it in a silk sachel lovingly hung around your neck by a fine golden braid. It literally went to market with everyone knowing you can't put it where you normally put such cards. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/8/21/20827303/apple-card-titanium-goldman-sachs-iphone-users-cleaning-warning-discoloration https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/8/21/20827303/apple-card-...

    > literally any other card can get scratched or discolored. Uhh, what? I'm looking at my wallet of cards right now, all of which I have had for multiple years. I have 2 metal cards, 4 plastic cards. Only one of them, the one that I have had for 3 years, is discolored in any way, and even then the discoloration is minor (its more of a dulling of the shininess, not really discoloration).

      I'm not saying they will, just saying they can. There's no magic coating on those cards making them particularly resistant to discoloration. Odds are the Apple card would be exactly like your other cards.

        Except the odds are that it wouldn't be exactly like my other cards. Like I said, my other cards have been daily drivers for years and only one has the slightest hint of discoloration. OTOH, Apple Cards are apparently becoming discolored after less than one month.

        My Simple white plastic card became discolored very quickly. It'll depend enormously on the material (a new leather wallet is gonna bleed dye) and it's partially because the white card shows more than a darker color.
