“ Apple Card has awesome features but the most important of them all, at leasts from a security standpoint, is probably the ability to generate virtual card numbers on demand, which will come in handy for those times when you won’t necessarily trust the recipient.”
- eganist 6y agoit's funny because: 1. Citibank did this for a long time. They still might. I remember using this in the late 2000s for some online services at the time. 2. Apple and Google Pay both do this as well, though these are all one-time-use implementations. It's sold as this pretty revolutionary feature that others have done (in some capacity) for quite a while now.

- criddell 6y agoA feature isn't revolutionary until people use it. Apple didn't invent virtual numbers, but they have a better implementation than Citibank. It's Apple's MO.
